VoIP seems to be everywhere? What is it? Voice over Internet Protocol. What does it do? It changes the world.
VoIP is a relatively new technology that does essentially what it sounds like it does. It uses the Internet to transmit your voice, usually in communication contexts. In other words, VoIP can be called an Internet-based telephone. Benefits of VoIP technology start with cost. With VoIP, you don't need to pay all the surcharges and taxes of a landline. Instead, you simply use the Internet connection you already have. This also speaks to convenience. To use VoIP, you just plug in a VoIP headset, make sure you have a functioning microphone, and you're off and running. With VoIP, you can talk to anyone else around the world with the same technology, without worrying about huge long-distance bills. How's that for carefree communication?
