Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP, IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, VoIP is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network.
Functionality
VoIP can facilitate tasks much better than using traditional networks:
- Incoming phone calls can be automatically routed to your VoIP phone, regardless of where you are connected to the network. Take your VoIP phone with you on a trip, and wherever you connect to the Internet, you can receive incoming calls.
- Call center agents using VoIP phones can work from anywhere with a sufficiently fast and stable Internet connection.
Mobility
- VoIP allows users to travel anywhere in the world and still make and receive phone calls:
- Subscribers of phone-line replacement services can make and receive local phone calls regardless of their location. For example, if a user has a New York City phone number and is traveling in Europe and someone calls the phone number, it will ring in Europe. Conversely, if a call is made from Europe to New York City, it will be treated as a local call. Of course, there must be a connection to the Internet e.g. WiFi to make all of this possible.
- Users of Instant Messenger based VoIP services can also travel anywhere in the world and make and receive phone calls.
- VoIP phones can integrate with other services available over the Internet, including video conversation, message or data file exchange in parallel with the conversation, audio conferencing, managing address books and passing information about whether others (e.g. friends or colleagues) are available online to interested parties.
