Advantages of VoIP
Accessible - One of the biggest advantages of using VoIP is that calls can be made from almost anywhere provided you have an internet connection and the appropriate hardware.
Cost - VoIP systems are usually less expensive to set up and maintain than traditional phone networks and it is possible to further reduce overall costs as companies may be able to avoid paying for a traditional broadband phone line.
Bandwidth - Because of the many protocols working together, VoIP is limited only by bandwidth rather than the number of phone lines in a traditional phone system. This allows for significantly more connections.
Disadvantages of VoIP
Internet Connection - Because calls are placed over the internet, if service is spotty, VoIP can have issues. This can cause you to have no signal at all or lead to problems with call quality and latency including lag, delay, and dropped calls.
Power - If power fails, then the internet fails. Without a connection to the internet, VoIP will not work and the entire system will be down. Many businesses will have a backup power supply available when using VoIP services.
