FAQ
How does VoIP work?
Voice over IP (VoIP) sends calls over the Internet or any Internet Protocol (IP) network by
converting voice traffic into data packets. These packets are routed over the IP network the
same way as other data, reassembled at the point of arrival, and then converted back to voice.
Does a VoIP call sound like an analog phone call?
Under the right conditions, VoIP calls sound as good or better than analog phone calls. Voice
quality is affected by numerous factors, including how it is compressed and decompressed for
delivery over the Internet and how packets are processed. A few steps can help ensure
call quality.
