Simple Explanation of VoIP

a basic, simple explanation of VoIP for a non-technical
person. Voice Over IP is rapidly changing the landscape of
voice telecommunications. The driving factor is how cheap
it is relative to traditional phone services. Roughly half
the cost or less!

Plus, VoIP is so much more powerful and agile than
traditional POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). All those
bells and whistles you have to pay extra for with the phone
company (call waiting, Caller ID, 3-way calling, call
forwarding) - those are all included in the basic VoIP
service.

Interested in getting VoIP service? here are two of my
favorite providers - I use them both.

I'm always trying to gain additional knowledge I've encountered VoIP we actually had a short conversation about it on a job site but you really gave me an understanding of things and I greatly appreciate it thank you very much and keep up the good work

This video explains the basics so well for anyone needing to get a lot of detail in very simple terms. Thank you for posting. I would have understood VoIP much better a few years ago if I had a video like this to refer to.

I have an unusual situation that Im wondering if a VOIP system would be the best option. My mother is confused and in her home alone. We are having trouble with a phone. She does really well when we are on a video call with her, say on facetime. Looks like one can get a video Voip system. Does this mean that the person who has the video voip system can get a video call from a person on the other end who is using facetime?

HI, NICE VIDEO, THANKS. I HAVE A BRAND NEW CISCO 7961 IP PHONE. THATS ALL I KNOW ABOUT IT. I HAVE LAND LINE PHONE SERVICE WITH MY INTERNET COMPANY. RIGHT NOW IM USING A NEW ANALOG PHONE STRAIGHT INTO A DIVIDED JACK. SO, IF I HOOK THIS IP PHONE, TO MY ROUTER, WILL IT WORK? THANKS

Would like to add.
Calls be is talking about are VoIP to Pots. VoIP calls to traditional phone system. Which requires a phone number. There are other systems.
Obi boxes allow you to talk box to box. Anywhere in the world for free. And nearly every app like Skype. Messenger, FaceTime do app to app calls world wide for free.
For sure VoIP is less expensive, but sometimes it can be free. Depends on who you want to call

Emergency Systems such as alarm systems and elevator are still require POTS copper line because they are required by some cities.
