A VoIP caller is someone who is calling you using a VoIP system, instead of from a carrier like Verizon or AT&T. VoIP stands for “voice-over-internet-protocol,” and all VoIP calls are routed through an internet connection instead of through cell towers, wires or fiber-optic cables. A VoIP system is a type of technology that allows you to make calls over a broadband internet connection. When you make a VoIP call, a VoIP system converts your voice into a digital signal that gets transferred over the internet through a router. This signal is then translated into a regular phone signal before it reaches whoever you’re calling. VoIP technology is used in both personal and business settings. VoIP callers are powered by Voice over Internet Protocol, which means that the person calling is using the internet to make the call, not a traditional phone system. VoIP systems take the analog sounds of you speaking into your cell phone, office phone, or laptop mic, and convert them into digital signals. VoIP caller ID works in the same way as caller ID on a conventional telephone line. When a call comes in, the internet service provider verifies the callers identity. Users can allowlist or blocklist specific phone numbers or entities.
