VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is the technology that lets you make and receive phone calls over the internet instead of traditional phone lines. If you’ve ever used Skype or WhatsApp to make a call, you’ve already experienced VoIP in action. But how does it really work, and why is it such a valuable tool for businesses?

How Does VoIP Work?
VoIP takes your voice, converts it into digital signals, and sends it over the internet to the person you’re calling. This makes communication possible from anywhere you have an internet connection—whether that’s your office, home, or while traveling abroad.
