Voice over IP. Here, "IP" stands for Internet Protocol. If a company makes many international calls, and has a broadband connection, VoIP software could save it a ton of money. Typical examples ofVoIP include Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, and Skype. In the traditional online Skype on a cell phone chat services, users can
chat with each other using the voice-enabled features of the software.

With the extended features available in Yahoo! Messenger and Skype, users can call any land or mobile phone number (using prepaid credits) at a very low cost.
