Making phone calls using a computer, often referred to as “computer telephony” or “PC telephony,” involves using a computer and an internet connection to make and receive phone calls. It eliminates the need for traditional landlines or mobile phones, offering several advantages and features.
The primary benefit of PC telephony is its cost-effectiveness. It significantly reduces phone bills by utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, which transmits voice data over the internet instead of traditional phone lines. Additionally, computer telephony systems often include features such as call forwarding, voicemail, and video conferencing, which are typically not available with traditional phone services or come at an additional cost.
