How VoIP Works

With Vonage's VoIP service (Voice over Internet Protocol), you make and receive calls through your pre-existing high-speed broadband Internet connection using your existing home phone. Vonage converts sound into data, sends it over the Internet, and converts it back into sound at the other end. The people you talk with will never know the difference because a VoIP call sounds just like a regular phone call.

The person you're calling doesn't need to have Vonage or an Internet connection on their side, they just need a phone. And, just as it always has, your phone rings when someone calls you. You use your same touch-tone phone, you're just connecting it to Vonage instead of your old phone company. Also, using Vonage doesn't affect your computer usage...continue to surf the web or send and receive email with no problem!
