One advantage is its ability to allow several telephone calls to occupy the amount of space occupied by one in a circuit-switched network. Another advantage is that data networks understand the technology therefore, by migrating to this technology telephone networks gain immediate ability to communicate similar to computers.

There are however, disadvantages to using VoIP technology.  VoIP is dependent on wall power; many other systems in your home may be integrated into the phone line. VoIP is susceptible to hiccups normally associate with home broadband services because it uses an Internet connection.
