Setup VoIP with Skype
Before knowing the setup of VoIP technology integrated with Skype, let us learn what VoIP is. And what is Skype in simple terms?
What is VOIP?
VoIP stands for voice over Internet Protocol which works by taking analog voice signals from one end that converting them into digital signals on the other end of the receiver side thereby sending them as data over the Internet.
The VoIP system could be used through any device such as a phone and a VoIP adapter that is connected to a phone socket in the wall or into your router, with a computer, with a smartphone.
In simple words, a VoIP phone system works by using a high-speed Internet connection instead of a regular landline or a mobile network where the analog voice signals get converted into digital signals and a VoIP server connects the calls to two other telephone networks. VoIP configuration includes an address phone and sip server that is provided by a VoIP service provider offering multiple benefits and features compared to the old traditional phone system Thereby providing high security to your data as it gets stored securely in the cloud managed by the VoIP service providers that can be accessed through an online dashboard where users can adjust contacts, forward calls, add additional lines and many more services can be done.
