VOIP stands for Voice Over IP. This essentially means having a phone conversation with someone over an Internet Connection instead of a telephone line. A voice conversation is converted into small packets of information at one end of a telephone conversation and sent down your broadband connection to a similar connection at the other end where it is converted back to voice so they can understand you at the receiving end of the phone call.

The technology requires a good Internet connection and, a compliant router and also a telephone handset that can be either an analog phone (requires an adapter) or a VOIP phone (plugs directly into compliant router).

VOIP is a digital form of voice communication which previously used analog attenuated signals to achieve the same thing. VOIP however is clearer as you are not restricted to the limited bandwidth given to analog voice calls and also has a built in Quality Of Service mechanism that ensures a quality connection that does not get interferance from other calls.

You may already be happy with your analog phone service and do not wish to change it. However, from the end of 2025 the analog method of making phone calls will no longer be available and therefore you must upgrade to VOIP if you wish to continue to make voice calls from your home or office.
