VoIP, or Voice over the Internet Protocol, is an emerging technology that allows you to send voice signals through an Internet-connected computer--sometimes for free, sometimes for a price. It does so by converting your voice into a digital signal that is carried on along the Internet. Depending on your call's destination, the digital signal is converted again into analog signal if you are calling a telephone, or still remain as a digital signal if what you're calling is another VoIP-enabled computer.There are a number of ways to call via VoIP. You may use your Internet-connected computer (In this case you have to install a special software to facilitate your calls) or you may also attach a VoIP adapter to an ordinary telephone. However, you may also choose to buy a specialized VoIP phone that plugs in directly to your broadband connection and does not need a VoIP adapter anymore.
