VoIP is the making of a phone call over the Internet.

Making phone calls over the Internet has been the 'norm' for modern businesses with the company's phone system integrated with their internet network. Currently in the Uk BT / OpenReach are moving langlines away from a dedicated network (PSTN) to the Internet. We will plug our landlines into our router. This usually gives a much better quality to the phone call.

VoIP is a technology that allows fixed line phones access the Internet and not integrated into the mobile phone network at all. However this does not stop mobiles using VoIP within an application such as Skype; which also includes the potential for video calls.
