 | | VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a method for taking analog audio signals, like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone, and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet. |
 | | All you need is the software, a microphone, speakers, a sound card and an Internet connection, preferably a fast one like you would get through a cable or DSL modem. |
 | | Since the IP phones or ATAs broadcast their info over the Internet, they can be administered by the provider anywhere there is a connection. |
