EXPLANATION
Voice over Internet Protocol (also voice over IP, VoIP or IP telephony)
is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice
communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP)
networks, such as the Internet.
The terms Internet telephony, broadband
telephony, and broadband phone service specifically refer to the
provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS,
voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public
switched telephone network (PSTN).
