Understanding VoIP
What is VoIP?
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a technology that allows voice communication over the Internet. This means you can make phone calls from your computer to phones anywhere in the world, often at little to no cost. It's a great way to make free PC-to-phone international calls.
How Does It Work?
VoIP converts your voice into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you're calling a regular phone number, the signal is converted back to a telephone signal at the destination. Essentially, you're using your computer, modem, or phone adapter to connect to the Internet, and the person you're calling can answer via PC or phone. This process enables the convenience of a free PC-to-phone international call.
What You Need
To use VoIP, you'll need:
- A high-speed Internet connection
- A computer, VoIP adapter, or specialized VoIP phone
- Software and an inexpensive microphone if using a computer as a phone
- Some services require a special VoIP phone that connects directly to your broadband connection, working like a regular phone.
Considerations
Before diving into VoIP, check with your Internet provider to see if you can make international calls. VoIP can save you money by potentially eliminating the need for a traditional phone line. If you travel often, you can take your phone and adapter with you, connecting back home through another computer.
