3.What is VOIP /Internet Voice?
R/
VOIP allows you to make telephone calls using a computer network, over a data network like the Internet. VOIP converts
the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet then converts it back at the other end
so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number. When placing a VOIP call using a phone with an adapter,
you'll hear a dial tone and dial just as you always have. VOIP may also allow you to make a call directly from a computer
using a conventional telephone or a microphone.
