Softswitch

Okay kiddo, a softswitch is like a telephone operator that helps people make phone calls. When you want to call your friend, you pick up your phone and dial their number. Your phone sends your call to the softswitch, which is like the operator. The softswitch then connects your call to your friend's phone.

But softswitches do more than just connect phone calls. They can also do things like record calls, block spam calls, and even translate between different types of phone systems.

So remember, a softswitch is like a helpful operator that connects your phone calls and does other cool things to make sure you have a good phone experience.
