About VoIP / Internet Phones

VoIP is a new way make phone calls. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol and is the technical term for “Internet phone service.” VoIP takes regular phone calls and zaps them through your high-speed web connection. VoIP uses regular phones, even cordless phones. Simply plug a VoIP adapter into your cable/DSL modem line and then plug your phone into the adapter. Your computer does not need to stay on for voip services, the VoIP adapter plugs into your broadband modem and works even if your PC is off. Voice over IP (voip) is one of the telecommunication industry's fastest growing markets. By 2010, VoIP subscribers are expected to more than quadruple, jumping from 10.3 million to at least 44 million.

Another common term used is Internet Phone Service. This is a more generic term for using the Internet to make calls. Internet Phone Service calls include VoIP as detailed above but also includes PC based calls. PC based calls use software and PC headsets (or speaker and mic) to initiate the call to other computers and sometimes traditional phones.

VoIP phone service providers combine domestic US local and long distance calls for one low monthly rate with unlimited local and long distance, plus features like Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voicemail, Call Forwarding, Call Conferencing, and many more - free of charge. Free calls between users on the same service is also normally included. For an overview see our VoIP service comparison table.
