VoIP is the acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP phone service, sometimes called broadband phone service, is a phone call method which uses your broadband web connection as the communication backbone.
There are two primary types of VoIP phone services - phone-based and computer-based. These phone types allow you to make phone calls with either a regular telephone or a computer with an attached headset and microphone. When you use VoIP to call a number the call is sent over the Web instead of over the copper wires running out of your home.
