Softphone

A softphone is a software application on your computer, smartphone, or tablet that allows you to make and receive phone calls over the internet instead of traditional phone lines. It mimics a physical phone’s functions, providing a user interface for dialing numbers, managing contacts, and handling calls. Softphones are often used in business environments for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) communication, offering flexibility, cost savings, and integration with other digital tools. Essentially, it's a virtual phone that leverages your internet connection to facilitate voice communication, replacing traditional desk phones or mobile carriers.
