Imagine this: you’re calling a friend on the other side of the world, and it costs you nothing. No exorbitant international calling fees, no dropped calls — just clear voice and a stable connection. All of this is made possible by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). But what exactly is this technology, why is it needed, and how did it come to be? Let’s dive in!

What is VoIP For?

VoIP is a technology that allows voice to be transmitted over the internet. This opens up a world of possibilities:

  • Cost savings: Calls over the internet are cheaper.

  • Flexibility: VoIP works on any device.

  • Mobility: Make calls from anywhere in the world.

A Brief History of VoIP

  1. 1960s and 1989: The First Steps In the 1960s, scientists began experimenting with transmitting voice over networks. In 1989, the company VocalTec released the first commercial VoIP system — Internet Phone.

  2. 1990s: Protocols and Standards Protocols like H.323 and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) emerged, and in 2003, Skype made VoIP accessible to millions.

  3. 2000s and 2010s: VoIP in Business and Cloud Solutions In the 2000s, VoIP gained popularity in business, and in the 2010s, cloud solutions emerged, integrating voice communication, video conferencing, and collaboration tools.

  4. VoIP Today

With the development of mobile internet (4G, 5G), VoIP has become a part of everyday life. Today, it’s not just a way to make calls — it’s a tool for communication, work, and collaboration.

VoIP and DexMobile: Convenience and Security

As technology has advanced, VoIP has become even more convenient thanks to DexMobile and its integration with eSIM. DexMobile is a product by DexNet that combines cutting-edge communication technologies with a decentralized architecture. Here are the key advantages:

Decentralization

  • DexMobile uses a decentralized architecture, making it more resilient to failures and attacks. Unlike traditional operators, DexMobile doesn’t rely on centralized servers, ensuring reliability and security.

  • This is especially important for VoIP calls, as decentralization minimizes the risk of losing connection even under heavy network load.

Global Coverage

  • DexMobile provides internet and connectivity access in over 210 countries. It’s the perfect solution for travelers and remote workers who want to stay connected.

  • Thanks to global coverage, you can use VoIP calls anywhere in the world without worrying about roaming.

Convenience with eSIM

  • DexMobile’s eSIM allows you to easily connect to local operators in different countries. You don’t need to swap physical SIM cards — just activate the eSIM in minutes.

  • For VoIP calls, this also means seamless usability.

Cost Efficiency

  • With DexMobile, you only pay for what you use. There are no hidden fees or additional roaming charges.

  • This, of course, makes VoIP calls through DexMobile even more cost-effective, especially for international connections.

Conclusion: VoIP is Just the Beginning

The history of VoIP is a story of how technology transforms our lives. From the first experiments in the 1960s to modern cloud solutions, VoIP has come a long way. Today, it’s not just a way to make calls — it’s a tool for communication, work, and collaboration. And thanks to DexMobile and its eSIM, VoIP is becoming an even more powerful and convenient solution.
Who knows what other possibilities the future holds? One thing is certain: voice communication over the internet will continue to evolve, making our lives even more connected.
