What is VoIP?

This is VoIP Basics 101 - What is VoIP?

In general non-technical speak, VoIP it is the ability to make phone calls via your internet connection instead of going through or paying your regular phone company.

VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol". OK, so I can see some eyes glazing over but it just means "internet phone".

Internet Phone; Internet Telephone; Voip - all mean the same thing - making cheap calls over the internet to anywhere. The calls can even be FREE.

Oh yeah VoIP might also be referred to as:-

Voice over Broadband
Internet telephony
IP Telephony
Broadband Phone
Broadband telephony

..... But it all means the same thing VoIP = cheap phone calls.

So next time someone asks "What is VoIP?" .... you can tell them cheap (or free) phone calls.

For a more in depth explanation as your local 'geek' or check out what Wikipedia have to say.
