If you know what VOIP stands for, and apply a bit of thought, you will have the answer to this question.

Simple answer: all you need is an internet connection. You can, in theory, use any internet connection, but in practice, you'll want something that's reliable, low latency, and that supports the necessary bandwidth (this depends on the sample rate used by the VOIP system in question for the digital voice samples, but generally means dial-up internet access won't cut it).
