Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.
What is necessary for VoIP technology is the use of the same protocols that the Internet uses. (A protocol is a set of rules used to allow orderly communication.) Thus, voice over Internet protocol means voice that travels by way of the same protocols used on the Internet. VoIP is often referred to as IP telephony (IPT) because it uses Internet protocols to make possible enhanced voice communications.
