VoIP is similar to IM, except the only thing being sent is sound, just like making a phone call but through the internet. To use VoIP, you will need a headset/speakers and a microphone. You could also include a webcam to allow visual communication. Usually, this service is free for providers such as Skype, however some VoIP providers charge you every week/month/year. Special types of phone are available to communicate using VoIP.
