VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol
Is just sending a normal analogue phone call with your existing handset or cordless phone, through a digital converter or router into your Broadband Internet connection, and to the normal PSTN or analogue phone of another person.
This technology bypasses the phone exchange, as it’s passing through a Broadband connection, Cable or ADSL. So it is not registered by your phone carrier as a phone call. Using this system you can now make calls extremely cheap.
