I don’t answer many calls on our home telephone because they’re most often not for me. But earlier today, I recognized the Michigan telephone number on the caller ID so I answered the call.
“Hello, from sunny Mexico,” he said.
My friend, Robert Nelson, had packed the small Vonage VOIP box that he uses in his Michigan home and had taken it in his luggage to Mexico. He’s connected it the high speed Internet line in his villa and he is able to make and receive calls in Mexico using the same phone number and VOIP equipment that he uses in his Michigan home.
VOIP is an acronym for “Voice over Internet Protocol.” It’s the computer technology that is used to transmit voice conversations over an Internet connection.
