Return To VoIP FAQ Archive   What are the advantages and disadvantages of VoIP? Answered By Editor Since the calls made through VoIP uses the Internet to transmit voice data, the main advantage of VoIP is that it allows people access to cheap or sometimes free long distance phone calls. Also, it allows people access to features that is impossible or is very expensive in traditional landline phones like voice mails, video conferencing, conference calls, fax and other services for free. Voice data also travels faster because it is transmitted over the Internet. One major flaw in VoIP is reliability. As you may know, your traditional landline phone runs with phantom power that is provided by the telecommunication company. However, VoIP is dependent on your wall power. This means that you cannot have access to your VoIP phone if you don't have electricity in your home or in your office. However clear and fast communication through VoIP phone may be had, you may experience some flaws from time to time but this is far and few. You may experience some flaw in your DSL Internet as well causing a disruption in the service. This will be the same thing you will experience in VoIP phones while having a phone call that will result in distorted or garbled audio quality. keywords: VoIP | Voice Over Internet Protocol | Voice Over IP | Telephony | Internet Telephony | Conferencing | Internet Conferencing | Conference Call | Internet | VoIP Phone | Long Distance Phone Calls Free Mobile Voip Cisco Voip Cheap Voip Calls To India
