VoIP is stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP is simply the transmission of voice traffic over IP-based networks.

Can anyone discuss about How VoIP Works?

[debasri]

VoIP phone service replaces your phone line with a high-speed Internet connection. It is that easy.

When conventional telephone service compresses your voice into a frequency on a wire, VoIP compresses the sound of your voice into packets of data. In milliseconds, these data packets are sent over the Internet. When the data reaches the final destination, it is converted back to sound. If utilize VoIP to call someone on the traditional phone network, the VoIP call is converted to sound once it reaches the network and the call is routed normally. The difference is that you have paid a lot less for that call.

Portability - Another advantage of VoIP is portability. You can create and receive phone calls maybe there is a broadband connection simply by signing in to your VoIP account.

Low cost - One of the main advantages of VoIP is the low cost. If you have a fast Internet connection (DSL or cable) you can make PC-to-PC phone calls anywhere in the world for free. If you wish to make a PC-to-phone connection, however, there's usually a charge for this but probably much cheaper than your regular phone service.
