How VOIP Works

VOIP stands for voice over internet protocol and is now a popular alternative to land line phone calls. VOIP is a way to make phone calls over the internet. Although VOIP has been around for many years, the technology that most people had at home wasn�t viable to make high quality, reliable phone calls. As millions of people have switched to broadband, many of these homes and businesses can now enjoy quality calls on a normal home phone over the internet. The major reason for VOIP�s success is its low cost, almost 80% lower for some people that call long distance on their normal land line phone.

VOIP is actually very simple technology. Your analog voice is digitized into data packets which are sent over the internet to the landline phone that you are calling. The phone that you are calling does not have to be connected to the internet because most of your phone call is routed over the internet, and turns back to analog once it switches back to the normal phone network.

Setting up VOIP is very easy; you normally need an adapter, a broadband internet connection, home phone and software. You can usually set up your VOIP phone in less than an hour. You just have to plug your land line phone into your adapter and the adapter into your broadband internet connection. This is mostly done with an internet router. With VOIP being easy to set up, very inexpensive to operate and flexible to use almost anywhere, you will surely see VOIP rise in use in the near future.
