How VoIP Works

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that lets you make phone calls over the internet instead of traditional phone lines. Here’s how it works: When you speak, your voice is captured by a microphone and converted from analog sound waves into digital data packets.

These packets are small chunks of information that travel through your internet connection to the recipient. Along the way, they’re routed efficiently across networks, much like emails or streaming video.

Once they reach the other end, the packets are reassembled and converted back into sound through the recipient’s device—whether it’s a VoIP phone, computer, or smartphone.

The whole process happens in real time, delivering clear, instant communication. With VoIP, all you need is a stable internet connection and a compatible device to enjoy flexible, cost-effective calling anywhere in the world.
