Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is the method that let’s you be able to communicate to someone else over the internet instead of a landline phone. Hence the term internet protocol in Voice Over Internet Protocol.
When you talk on the landline telephone it is analog transmission. How VOIP works is it takes your voice in analog form and transfers it into digital form. This allows your voice to travel through the computer lines to its destination.
After it gets to its destination, it transfers back to the analog form in order for your recipient to understand you. This is similar to how Skype works.
