Drop Your Landline and Switch To VOIP

Voip has many names. Voice Over Internet Protocol, IP Telephone, Internet telephony, broadband phone and many others. They all serve the same purpose. To transmit voice over the internet.

Analog signals are converted into digital signals. These signals are sent over the internet in the form of data packets. On the receiving end, the process is simply reversed. Different codecs are used for encoding speech so it can be transmitted over the net. A session control protocol is used to begin and end the calls.

Benefits of Voip
