By Tony Cunningham

The newest craze in technology is VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). This is a revolutionary new system that allows you to make a phone call right from your PC. Using your phone with a small VoIP call adapter, you can even make a VoIP call on a wireless network. More and more businesses are offering wireless network, such as malls, airports, and coffee houses, and can allow you to use your phone as easily as a cell phone. In some cases, you can make the call directly from your computer, or use a phone adapter to adapt your regular phone to the new system. When using your regular telephone, some VoIP providers don't even require your computer to be turned on. A broadband internet connection is required (high speed), including cable modem, and DSL. And most VoIP providers sell phones that directly connect to your internet connection so you wouldn't need an adapter.
