What is an 'Internet phone' system?

Jim Gurol (VP of Operations, Tierzero) gives expert video advice on: What is an 'Internet phone' system?; What are the advantages of using an Internet phone instead of an ATA system?; Can I use my Internet phone when I travel? and more...

An Internet phone is, basically, a phone that connects directly to the Internet. You don't need to have an ATA device for it. It just has an Ethernet port on it already, so you can connect it straight into your switch, and you program it and you should be able to make phone calls.
