What is VoIP
You still simply pick up your regular phone, dial a number and talk. VoIP is simple and is for everyone. It does not matter if the person you are calling has VoIP or not, this is all taken care of by your VoIP service provider. The only requirement for this technology is a high speed Internet connection, such as DSL or cable. VoIP requires a bandwidth of up to 90 Kbps depending on the voice compression algorithm chosen by the service provider. This is a higher bandwidth than dial-up Internet so a Broadband Internet connection is a basic requirement.

VoIP stands for "Voice Over Internet Protocol", which is a technology that allows you to make phone calls using your Broadband Internet connection instead of your regular phone service. It is also sometimes referred to as Voice over IP, Broadband phone, Internet phone service and Digital Voice. Yes, it is a marketing game by the different service providers but they all use the same core technology.
