   I would simply say it’s telephone over the internet. That should be enough for a 7 year old or a grandmother

   VoIP is Voice over Internet Protocol. We send voice packets over IP based network. For a 7 years old niece “we send and recieve voice over internet”. For 70 years old grandma “router is used to get internet”. Technically router is the device which route the internet traffic to a specific IP address. Good Luck !!!

   You don’t need to tell a 7 year old how voice over IP works….and Grandma doesn’t need to know either

   thts gr8 to hear you are sharing knowledge with the very new generation and also with old generation
   here the suggestion i might give you:
   for VOIP: Calling to other phone using PC rather than the Phone of my house: to save money and voice qualitty.
   for Router:
   It is like to put more nozzles in the hose pipe line so you can use more than one water flow from the same pipe in the same time and also can manage the desired force of flow of each nozzles using the screw tap (if the router is intelligent. i.e. Cisci Router)

   I have VOIP: It is a telephone servive that works off the same cable that supports your internet. It does not use telephone lines. If the internet service goes down, the phone will not work. You can call all over the US for a flat fee for about $25-$30 and have no long distance charges.
   A router is a device used to convert the cable or DSL service signal into a signal your computer can use
