Well, VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) means your call goes over the internet instead of having a dedicated wire to the “phone company.”

I disagree with the earlier poster who said that VOIP isn’t a land line. Having a land line just means you aren’t using radio waves like with a mobile phone. I don’t use VOIP or a traditional phone-company line—just a mobile phone. I guess that maybe using the phone company means you have to pay “protection” to keep them from giving your phone number to the world.
