Voice over IP
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a technology that allows people to make phone calls using the internet instead of traditional telephone lines. It converts sound into digital data, which is then transmitted over the internet. This method can reduce costs, especially for long-distance calls, and offers additional features like video calling and messaging.
VoIP services can be used on various devices, including computers, smartphones, and dedicated VoIP phones. Popular applications like Skype and Zoom utilize this technology, making it easier for users to communicate with others around the world without relying on conventional phone networks.
