VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It refers to the technology used to transmit voice conversations over a data network.
Data networks can be either the Internet or a corporate Intranet. Calls made via VoIP are cheaper or even free. When a VoIP call is made between two branch offices via the Internet or Intranet, for example, the call will essentially be free. Another example is when a VoIP call is made to an international destination via an Internet Telephony Service Provider, the call is routed over the Internet for most of the journey. It will usually only return to the public telephone network (PSTN) when the call reaches the country of the destination. In this case, the long distance toll charge is bypassed. |
