What is a Switch?

A device or phone network component that connects your phone line with another line to establish a telephone call. Early telephone technology relied on human operators to provide manual switching services. Current Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology uses virtual or digital switches to connect phones to the Internet.
