VOIP has become increasingly mainstream in Brazil and worldwide, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and remote work adoption. In corporate environments, VOIP systems are standard infrastructure. The technology is particularly popular among startups and tech companies in São Paulo. Portuguese speakers may use the English acronym 'VoIP' even in Portuguese conversation, though 'telefonia IP' or 'voz sobre IP' are formal alternatives. The abbreviation is pronounced letter-by-letter in Portuguese (vê-ó-i-pê) or as 'voip' in English.
