Voice Over Internet Protocol…it’s a telephone using the Internet as the transmission line. You must subscribe to a company like Vonage [the best yet], TimeWarner [too expensive], MagicJack [cheap, but ??] and a host of others. I have been using Vonage for 7+ years and am very happy. My wife calls China for 1 penny a minute, European calls are Free. Vonage sent me a Device free, it’s an easy hookup. I also use VOIP for sending faxes. You do need an Internet Provider also, I use TimeWarner.
