What is VOIP?
VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over IP, or in more common terms phone service over the Internet. If you have a reasonable quality Internet connection you can get your phone service delivered to you through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company. Some people use VOIP in addition to their traditional phone service, since VOIP service providers usually offers lower rates than the traditional phone companies, but sometimes don't offer full 911 service, phone directory listings, 411 service, etc.

The early versions of this software provided poor quality, but users were willing to suffer packet loss, jitter, and latency in return for bypassing normal long-distance toll charges. Today, users can choose from a large variety of Voice over IP (VoIP) software packages. Improvements in bandwidth and the processing speeds of home PCs have enabled practical conversations through VoIP devices.

A Quick Introduction to VoIP
The real key to sending voice over any packet data network is compression, and VoIP is no exception.

VoIP Tutorial
The possibility of voice communications traveling over the Internet, rather than the PSTN, first became a reality in February 1995 when Vocaltec, Inc. introduced its Internet Phone software. Designed to run on a 486/33-MHz (or higher) personal computer (PC) equipped with a sound card, speakers, microphone, and modem (see Figure 1), the software compresses the voice signal and translates it into IP packets for transmission over the Internet. This PC-to-PC Internet telephony works, however, only if both parties are using Internet Phone software.

Voice Over IP FAQ
Internet Voice, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. Also, while some services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone through an adaptor.

On-Network, Off-Network Calling
On-net versus off-net calling becomes important when we consider the Internet Telephone world. Currently, most of the VoIP or Internet Telephone providers are offering free, unlimited on-net calling. This is the same as offering unlimited, free local dialling. Since your call never leaves the ITSP's network, the cost is very low (see Note at bottom). The ITSP incurs more cost when calling off-net numbers, especially calling PSTN telephone numbers.
