What is a VoIP Telephone?

A VoIP telephone, also known as a SIP phone or a softphone, allows the user to make phone calls to any softphone, mobile or landline by using voice over IP (VoIP). This way the voice is carried through the internet instead of the traditional PSTN system.

A VoIP telephone can be a simple software-based softphone or a hardware device that looks a lot like a common telephone.

Some of the common features of a VoIP telephone are: caller ID, call park, call transfer and call hold.

3CX has developed a completely free VOIP telephone that can secure significant savings on telephone bills in a very simple way: all that the user requires is a broadband connection (DSL or cable), a connection to a VOIP provider or a SIP server, and a headset with a microphone and/or a sound card.
