Do I need to have my computer on in order to use VoIP services?

No, your computer does not have to be on at all times in order for Voice over IP services to work. Since Voice over IP services run off of your high speed internet modem, that does have to be up and running for your phone to work.
All VoIP calls are carried over the Internet until each call needs to be directed to a regular phone line. This allows you to save a tremendous amount of money on local, long distance, and international calls.
