What is VOIP and What equipment do I need?
VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol. VOIP is a technology for making phone calls over the internet without the use of traditional phone lines. 1. You will need a high speed internet connection. This is typically provided by a DSL connection, a cable modem or a wireless local area network (LAN). This can be through a cable modem, or high speed services such as DSL or a local area network. 2. You will need a computer (with some VOIP software and a microphone), or a VOIP adaptor, or a specialized VOIP phone. Some VoIP services are designed to work over your computer, others require a special VoIP phone, while other services allow you to use a traditional phone (POTS) connected to a VoIP adapter (like Vonage).
