What is VoIP?

IP-telephony, also called internet telephony or Voice over IP (abbr: VoIP) is telephony through a computer network based on the internet protocol (IP). There are three different ways of VoIP telefphony: PC to PC (using special software which needs to be installed on both ends), PC to landline (Softphones) and IP-based internal networks (through special providers).

Which are the benefits of VoIP telephony?

The most important benefit is probably that you do not need to pay connection fees for the phones (ISDN). Other than assumed many times VoIP is only free of costs if using a software and a PC to PC connection. As soon as the call goes to a landline (fixed subscriber) or mobile phone costs incurred need to be paid to the provider. But these costs are cheaper using VoIP than using regular ISDN-telephony. The hardware that is used for VoIP telephony (router) is much cheaper than a conventional ISDN phone system.
