More about VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that converts your voice into compressed digital data and sends the information in ‘packets’ or little bursts over the internet to the person receiving your call, where it is then converted back into sound. Calls are routed via the lowest cost path as opposed to IDD which uses dedicated lines to carry traffic.
