Voice over Internet Protocol — VoIP — is one way people are making and receiving telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection rather than a regular phone line. VoIP converts your phone call — actually, the voice signal from your phone — into a digital signal that travels through the Internet to the person you are calling. If you are calling a plain old telephone number, the signal is converted back at the other end. If you’re comfortable with new technology, you may want to learn more about VoIP. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, suggests that it’s smart to do some research on this technology before signing up for it.

When dialing pay-per-call services, consumers did not always know how much the call would cost and what they would get for their money. To help them get this information more readily, Congress passed the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act in 1992. This Act required the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to adopt rules governing the pay-per-call services industry. The FTC's 900-Number Rule, which became effective November 1, 1993, covers the advertising and operation of pay-per-call services, as well as billing and collection procedures for those services.
