Default What exactly is a VoIP phone system?

We've all been using VOIP for several decades, but it was the "phone
company" that did the VOIP, not the end-user customer.


Just because it's digital doesn't mean it's VoIP. The digital service
that the phone company has been using for many decades is still circuit-
switched.

Packet-switched systems give you more for the money but more chances for
things to go wrong too.
