Though regular phones can be converted to VoIP ones using ATAs

There are still a few abiding problems that users can face with VoIP affairs and although these are boring abbreviation due to bigger technology and added bandwidth, they can still act as an impediment to accumulation VoIP adoption. In this article, we yield a attending at four accepted problems which accept historically been associated with VoIP.

Bandwidth Management
It feels good to consolidate your communication networks and have just one for all systems. It's cheaper and can lower maintenance and other hassles. Moreover, the Internet is a system which can be used anywhere making the entire system portable and flexible. However, it does mean that anything which you do on that network can potentially affect all the other services which run on it. And when one such service is a time sensitive application such as VoIP, it can get difficult.

All VoIP users have to pay attention to their bandwidth usage to make sure enough "space" is left for VoIP to function. For businesses this can mean installing a Virtual LAN or VLAN for traffic management. The other alternative is to have an entirely separate account for VoIP, but this can lead to wastage.

VoIP and mobile phones
Despite the promise of wireless VoIP, problems persist with VoIP on mobile phones. While it's true that there are some technical issues relating to the way wireless technology works, there are suspicions that the carriers themselves don't allow VoIP to reach its full potential on mobile phones. Either way, it can get very frustrating for VoIP wireless users to find their call quality plummet and even drop entirely. This is set to change as 4G networks with technology like WiMax and LTE give users an Internet experience that is more akin to wifi than traditional wireless.

Call Quality - lingering issues
Related to the first problem, there are times when congestion in the network reduces VoIP call quality. Parameters such as jitter and packet loss can be caused due to a misconfiguration and VoIP quality can suffer as a result. Though these problems are quite rare now that the bandwidth available to customers has skyrocketed, it can crop up occasionally.

Expensive Softphones
Though regular phones can be converted to VoIP ones using ATAs, the true VoIP experience with full HD can only be delivered through a softphone. These phones are digital instead of analog and offer a host of functionalities that normal ones can't match. Because of this however, they are still quite expensive compared to traditional ones and though the price is set to come down in the future, we can't do much about them now.

These are the four biggest issues which VoIP users face these days.
