Thanks to VOIP telephony, people around the world are changing the way they use long distance phone calls to keep in touch with others. Voice over IP services are changing the world of long distance and regular calling because of its technological advances that affect everything in terms of communications. Voice over Internet Protocol or VOIP is a method that takes audio signals and turns them into digital data so that it can be transmitted over a network.

People around the world are starting to use VOIP telephony to utilize their existing internet connection and hook their phone up to their computers. Using a simple free software package to work with it, people hook up their phone system and use a program such as Skype or Yahoo Messenger to start making phone IP calls around the world to family and friends.

There are essentially three different ways that people can use VOIP telephony services. The first is through the use of a device called an Analog Telephone Adapter or an ATA. An ATA enables VOIP phone system users to connect to a standard telephone through a computer or internet connection. The ATA is what is called an analog-to-digital converter in that it converts the traditional analog digital symbols of your conventional telephone into digital symbols or data through the internet, thus transmitting your telephone call across the information superhighway’s network. Many service providers of VOIP systems include an ATA with their package, negating the use for an actual VOIP phone for the user.
