A VoIP number is the number you use to make voice calls with your contacts. Depending on how you set up your service, these VoIP calls can be completed through a VoIP desk phone, a regular landline telephone converted by an adapter, or even through your cellular phone.

How do you find out who the real caller is?
Hi Tami,
A VoIP number or "DID" (Direct Inward Dial) is associated with a VoIP Trunking service which controls the caller ID. Caller ID then can be manipulated in the trunk and is not forced with CID. The real CID is captured on the VOIP server side.
