Hello,
Internet telephony refers to the science or technology of integrating telephone services into computer networks. In essence, it converts analog voice signals into digital signals, transmits them, then converts them back again. Voice over IP (VoIP) is a common form of this service.
With traditional telephone service, sometimes referred to as POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), voice signals use telephone lines copper wires and circuit switches to communicate. Internet telephony eliminates the telco company all together by using computer networks to send voice signals. All information is transferred across the Internet in "data packets." For example, if someone sends a friend an email, the email is broken up into a series of data packets that each take their own route to the destination mail server. Once there, the packets reassemble themselves into the full email message.
Internet telephony also transmits using data packets. Analog voice signals are digitized, sent in discreet packets to the destination, reassembled and reverted back to analog signals. By using this system, a person can place long-distance calls free of telephone charges. The catch is that both parties must have the correct software. If this technology is used to call a land-line or cell phone, charges apply, though they are usually minimal.
Thanks,
