Voice over Internet Protocol, or VOIP for short, is an increasingly popular telecommunications option for homes and businesses in Maryland. It allows all types of communication to take place on a single network, like the Internet, thereby decreasing monthly costs of both phone lines and high speed Internet. With VOIP, voice communication is accomplished over an IP network instead of a traditional phone line, where a broadband connection allows multiple phone calls to be made while simultaneously transferring data over the same network. This allows more efficiency and flexibility for multiple callers and the general exchange of information.
Providers in Maryland include Lingo and Vonage, which offers 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. All providers offer their services for under $30 a month, allowing Maryland homes and businesses even more options for communication.

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.
