VoIP
Calls through broadband
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is telephone service transmitted over the internet rather than traditional phone lines.
The technology converts voice into digital data packets, enabling calls through apps like Skype or Zoom, or through dedicated VoIP phones: Our office switched to VoIP to cut costs.
VoIP typically offers cheaper long-distance rates and features like video calling, though call quality depends on internet connection stability.
