Illinois is experiencing an increasingly popular form of communication that is picking up speed: It's called Voice over Internet Protocol, or VOIP. VOIP allows all communication-- both audio and data-- to take place on a single network, like the Internet, where a broadband connection allows multiple phone calls to be made while simultaneously transferring data over the same network. This is a great option for homes and businesses looking to decrease the monthly costs of multiple communications systems. It also allows more efficiency and flexibility, as multiple people can use the same network for Internet use, phone calls, and other types of information exchange.
Providers in Illinois like Vonage offer many services for individuals and businesses, including traditional phone features like Caller ID, voicemail, call waiting, and much more, all functional through an Internet connection. Other options include ITP and TinCanTalk, which all cost under $30 a month and allow Illinois residents greater choices in phone services.

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a way of sending your voice to someone else and visa versa. You need a microphone, speakers, and software for your computer, or a standalone piece of hardware that has a phone plug, and dial the person up. This also may require a service or membership with the company you get the software or hardware from.
