A VoIP phone is a telephone set designed specifically for use in a voice over IP ( VoIP ) system by converting standard telephone audio into a digital format that can be transmitted over the Internet, and by converting incoming digital phone signals from the Internet to standard telephone audio.
With VoIP, analog voice calls are converted into packets of data. The packets travel like any other type of data, such ...as e-mail, over the public Internet and/or any private Internet Protocol (IP) network. Using a VoIP service, you can call landline or cell phones.
