If you’ve ever used WhatsApp, Zoom, or FaceTime to make a call, you’ve already used some form of VoIP technology—maybe without even realising it. But what exactly is VoIP, and why is it becoming the go-to solution for businesses and individuals alike?
VoIP: A Simple Explanation
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which is just a technical way of saying phone calls over the internet. Instead of relying on traditional landlines, VoIP uses your internet connection to make and receive calls.
Think of it like this: Remember those old landline phones with tangled cords? VoIP replaces them with a more flexible, cost-effective, and feature-rich solution.
Why Is VoIP So Popular?
More and more businesses are switching to VoIP because it offers better communication at a lower cost. Here’s why:
✅ Save Money – VoIP significantly reduces phone bills, especially for long-distance and international calls.
✅ Work from Anywhere – Whether you’re in the office, at home, or traveling, you can make and receive calls as long as you have an internet connection.
✅ More Features at No Extra Cost – VoIP services often include call forwarding, voicemail-to-email, video conferencing, and team messaging—without the extra fees.
