How VOIP Works

VOIP services work by changing the voice data that comes into your end of the phone. It turns into a digital signal that's transmitted over the internet to its destination. With a VOIP phone, you can place calls to landlines, mobile phones, and other VOIP phones. VOIP phones take your voice data and synthesize it into small digital packets. These digital packets are similar to envelopes! They carry the digital data over the network between the caller and recipient.

VOIP phones only need a computer, software, an internet connection, and the service itself to operate. This means you can use VOIP almost anywhere. You just need an internet connection! Landlines are connected to a dedicated telephone jack in your home and aren't portable. Landlines require an open and consistent connection to maintain functionality while on a call. VOIP phones make connections during the call between the networks as needed over the cheapest and least occluded lines available.
