VoIP Internet phone service functions like your traditional telephone. However instead of sending calls via telephone lines, your call is routed over the Internet or through an IP-based network. Installing VoIP is very simple and only requires a VoIP adapter (available through your VoIP provider), some software (for using your computer as a phone), and a high-speed Internet connection.
Making a Call with VoIP
Simply pick up the phone, wait for the dial-tone, and then dial the number. It's that simple. You don't need to be a computer programmer to take advantage of VoIP. There aren't even any extra numbers to dial. Just pick up the phone and PRESTO! You're using VoIP.
Using VoIP and the Web Simultaneously
You might be wondering if it's possible to have a VoIP Internet phone service, make calls AND surf the web at the same time. The answer is YES! Voice over IP services share your Internet connection with your computer allowing you to surf the web and make calls simultaneously without any worries (depending on your home network setup, this may require additional equipment).

This means you don't need to pay more for these amazing services. VoIP offers all the advanced features and benefits of traditional telephony without the added costs.
