VoIP systems allow the user to make more than one call to different persons at the same time, and thus eliminate the need to have multiple lines. In addition, VoIP security is much advanced as compared to a traditional phone. By encrypting and authenticating the data stream, you are ensured of security. Another special feature is the ability to integrate calling services with internet features such as video calling.
