What is a VoIP phone system? VoIP is Voice over Internet Protocol. Modern technology never ceases to amaze me. First, there was the Internet that opened the doors of communication all over the world. Then there was text messaging where we could chat with people one on one and now there is the ability to pick up a phone that is hooked to the computer and talk with people all over the world. There is no more need to type.
You only need four pieces of equipment and they are your computer, Internet connection, the proper software, and a USB phone or headset. The last one is most important. A USB headset is a headset with a microphone that hooks into your computer’s USB port, and a USB pone is a phone just like we normally use to talk on that plugs into your computer’s USB port.

Remember you get what you pay for. If you want more features and clarity you will have to pay the price.
