VoIP is a technology that allows voice communication and multimedia sessions over the internet, replacing traditional phone lines with a more flexible and cost-effective solution. With VoIP, users can make and receive calls from computers, smartphones, and dedicated VoIP devices. Popular VoIP services like Skype, Vonage, and Google Voice offer features such as call forwarding, voicemail, and even video calling, making it suitable for both personal and business communication. VoIP is especially advantageous for businesses as it reduces telecommunication costs, supports remote work, and integrates with other communication tools.
