What are the disadvantages of VoIP?

The majority of VoIP services don’t work during power outages. Although it’s possible to purchase backup systems, and many large companies do so, the majority of VoIP services don’t have this feature. Also, some providers don’t offer phonebook listings in the white pages with their services.

Two big problems with VoIP service are power interruptions and emergency calls. Unlike a traditional phone powered by a telephone line, a computer and an IP phone are powered by electricity and so they fail when the electricity goes out. One way out is to use a battery backup or a power generator to keep the power but it is a much greater hassle than just using a traditional phone. That is why VoIP is not generally used yet.
