Salesforce.com does not do VOIP in and of itself (i.e. it is not Vonage or Skype), but it does have a "CTI Connector" that allows it to interface with compliant services (e.g. Skype). The general process goes as follows: 1) select and subscribe to a salesforce.com-compatible service, 2) install an adapter that will interface the service to the salesforce.com application, and 3) configure salesforce.com to connect to the service. This configuration allows screen popups for incoming calls (based on caller ID), a one-click calling system to place outbound calls, and a built-in softphone within the application. See Setup > Customize > Call Center for details on how this works. Some services that are compatible may require custom software development, and your milage may vary. My understanding is that the Skype, Cisco, and AT&T integrations are rock solid, although you should definitely shop around and perform your own research before accepting my understanding as fact (or fiction, as the case may be).

Sfdcfox is correct, Salesforce does not do VOIP in and of itself. But there are a number of 3rd party software that can integrate Salesforce with VOIP. I recommend that you check Tenfold, a CTI that can connect Salesforce with a lot of VOIP systems like Cisco, 8x8, RingCentral, ShoreTel, and a lot more.
Tenfold's great features include click-to-dial, a caller ID/screen pop, a call analytics dashboard, and automatic call logging.
