VOIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, an increasingly popular telecommunications option in Maine that allows all communication to take place on a single network, like the Internet. Instead of using a traditional phone line, customers achieve voice communication over an IP network, where a broadband connection allows multiple phone calls to be made while simultaneously transferring data over the same network. This allows for more flexibility in communications, and it also decreases decreasing monthly costs of multiple communications systems-- VOIP systems usually run less than multiple phone lines because they all function through the same network.
Providers in Maine like Vonage offer many communications solutions for individuals and businesses, including traditional phone features like Caller ID, voicemail, call waiting, and much more, all functional though an Internet connection. Other options include Lingo and PhonePower, whose services are competitive and allow Maine residents greater and more inexpensive telecommunications choices.

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.
