Disadvantages of VoIP
VoIP offers a great promise to communication. VoIP offers a low cost voice communication. Yet, there are hindrances to the wide scale adoption of VoIP. This article discusses the disadvantages of VoIP, which many are familiar with. In addition, this article will also discuss how to improve the quality of VoIP phone service. Disadvantages of VoIP It is common knowledge that despite the many advantages of VoIP. Here are the 4 major disadvantages of VoIP. 1. Maintaining Reliable Internet Connection for VoIP During outages, there will be no internet connection and hence no telephone service. A cellular phone can be used under such circumstances. 2. 911 Emergency The location of the PSTN can be determined but for a VoIP phone, the location cannot be determined. E911 can resolve this issue. The VoIP phone number registered online and whenever a 911 call is made using this VoIP phone, the location can be determined by the emergency personnel. 3. Large Number of Computers Connected to the Network. If many computers are connected to the network and are using the internet at the same time, then the quality of VoIP audio will be poor. Ethernet is highly recommended under such circumstances. 4. Poor Audio Quality of VoIP This brings up the biggest issue – The Audio quality. No matter what bells and whistles are associated with a VoIP phone, the basic function of any phone is voice communication. If the audio quality is poor, then there is no point in using VoIP phone even though it has all the bells and whistles! What good is VoIP phone that video, music, caller ID and many advanced features but has a lot background noise and also dropped calls? This disadvantage is addressed in more detail in the next section. Although there have been a lot enhancements to VoIP, the audio quality suffers at times. VoIP is entirely dependent on internet connection and so whatever affects the internet connection will affect VoIP phone service. |
