Mobile Marketing: The History of Mobile Network Technologies - VoIP

VoIP stands for voice over Internet Protocol or voice over IP. It is simply a means of using a broadband Internet signal to transmit voice. Skype and Vonage were the first to make this type of communication mainstream. With the addition of a signal converter or a headset on the computer, VoIP calling allows computers to have phone calls with other computers or directly with phones. Because this can be done at a very low cost, many traditional phone service carriers are losing customers to VoIP services. As mobile data networks improve, mobile VoIP is becoming a reality that many mobile careers are reticent to embrace.
