On phones it's VOIP, that is voice over internet protocol.

I really do recommend making use of the CBP FAQ pages. It provides official answers to literally hundreds of common questions like these:

In this case, a quick search for the keywords "visa", "old" and "passport" immediately brought up this page:

https://help.cbp.gov/cgi-bin/customs...i=&p_topview=1

<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:If your visa is in a passport that has expired or will expire within 6 months of the end of your U.S. visit, you will need to get a new passport. However, you do not need to apply for a new visa. Just bring both your new passport and your old passport with the valid visa to present to the CBP officer when you arrive in the U.S. The U.S. has an agreement with certain countries exempting their citizens from the requirement that their passports be valid for up to six months past the end of their U.S. visit. Please contact the U.S. Embassy in your country of citizenship to determine if you are exempt from this requirement.[/quote]

The link to the FAQ is right at the top, but there is lots of other useful info here.

I travel with two passports. An expired one with a Visa valid until June 2014 and my current passport. The only time the Visa is looked at is at Immigration on arrival in USA, nobody else is needing to deal with it.

You can still travel with your old passport with the visa in and your new passport. We are doing it today.

It's interesting to know that you get to keep your old passport when you apply for a new one. We have to give it back

[Clare R]

I have about four passports as well as my current one !

I have a multiple visit, indefinite expiration visa in my old passport, does this mean I can take it with me and it will be valid?

[Clare R]

I doubt it frankly. I have a friend with an indefinite expiration Visa and he found it was not worth the paper it is written on now. US Embassy the only people who can give you the definitive answer.
