V.O.I.P.

WHAT IS VOIP? VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL OR SIMPLY COMMUNICATING ANALOG AUDIO SIGNALS ( THE TELEPHONE) AND CONVERTING THEM (SIGNALS) INTO DIGITAL DATA THAT CAN BE TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. VOIP IS ALSO A WAY TO CONDUCT LONG DISTANCE CALLS FOR FREE , YES FREE! YOU MUST BE A SUBSCRIBER TO A VOIP PROVIDER. VONAGE AND AT&T ARE TWO THAT I KNOW OF RIGHT NOW.

ATA OR ANALOG TELEPHONE ADAPTOR IS A VERY SIMPLE WAY TO CONVERT TO DIGITAL DATA FOR THE INTERNET. THE ADAPTOR ALLOWS YOU TO CONNECT TO A REGULAR PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER AND TRANSMIT DIGITAL DATA.

THERE ARE SPECIAL PHONES, IP PHONES, FOR THIS VOIP CONVERSATION THAT LOOK JUST LIKE REGULAR PHONES WITH A HEADSET, HANDSET, CRADLE AND BUTTONS. THE DIFFERENCE IS A STANDARD PHONE USES RJ-11 PHONE CONNECTORS WHERE AS THE VOIP USES RJ-45 ETHERNET CONNECTOR. THE NAMES OF THESE PHONE ARE CALLED IP PHONES.

THE PC-2-PC WAY IS SAID TO BE THE EASIEST OF ALL TO USE. NO FEE FOR LONG DISTANCE. YOU WILL NEED SOFTWARE, MICROPHONE, SPEAKERS, SOUND CARD AND AN INTERNET CONNECTION, SOUNDS LIKE A LOT, BUT IT'S NOT! OTHER THAN YOUR ISP FEE, THERE IS NO OTHER CHARGE, IMAGINE THAT!
