Cons of VoIP — What You Should Know

Con 1: Weak internet equals weak call quality
Why?
VoIP is only as good as your internet.
Lag, drops, or robotic voices happen when bandwidth is unstable or limited.

Con 2: No power, no phone
Why?
If your power goes out, so does your modem.
Unless you have a backup power source or mobile app, you’ll lose access temporarily.

Con 3: Emergency calls may not auto-route
Why?
Landlines connect directly to emergency services with your location.
VoIP requires proper E911 configuration to ensure emergency teams find you fast.

Con 4: Security matters more than ever
Why?
Unprotected VoIP can be hacked.
Use encrypted platforms, multi-factor authentication, and strong access controls to stay safe.

Con 5: May not work with legacy devices
Why?
Old systems like fax machines or analog alarms might not be compatible.
You may need adapters or hybrid hardware to bridge the gap.
