In this case when there are power cuts, the VoIP phones cannot be used, basically they are useless, and this is the huge disadvantage.

  • Emergency calls

Not all providers will provide this option, and some of them are not supporting any emergency calls.

  • Latency and loss of service

Sometimes during the calls can be latency that will make the communication quite complicated and even irritating. This really annoys you when you try to make an important call and the person cannot hear you on the other part of the phone, or even worse, he hears the answer for his first questions, when he already asked you several more and this is really confusing.

Any decision that has to be taken should be well thought and considered, or better said contemplated. If you decide to install VoIP software, choose the one that will be clear for you. The pre-configured soft phone is a good solution, because you don’t have to set – up it and enter multiple required parameters.
