How VoIP works
International Sites HOW IT WORKS Demystify the workings and jargons of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) VoIP vs Your Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) Using VoIP to make calls is no different from conversing on the phone via your POTS: 1.
A connection is made between your telephone and the other party's line.
The only difference between these two methods is the way your conversation travels between both phone lines.
VoIP essentially retrieves analog audio signals from your phone conversations and converts it into digital data that can then be sent out to thousands of possible paths via the Internet.
This process is made possible thanks to a small analog-to-digital converter called Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA).
