VOIP is valid in Collins, not in North America — 9 points
It depends on the list you play by. VOIP is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 9 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

It replaced the older network almost invisibly, and most people who use it daily have never met the word, because it arrived inside applications rather than as a product of its own.
