Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), phone service is an option for anyone with a broadband Internet connection. Most telephone and cable companies offer VoIP service, as well as private companies like Vonage and Skype. Some VoIP services only work using special phones, while other services allow you to use a traditional phone through an adaptor.
