Are your calls secured? If you have a SIP-based VoIP phone system – chances are they are not.
You should contact your current provider and ask if they encrypt your Voice Communication AND Signaling Messaging.
Fact #1 Most VoIP Phone Service Providers are deploying SIP based phones. SIP is a widely used standard with its content transported as readable text. Unfortunately this makes it an attractive target for hackers.
Fact #2 Broadband service providers have been known to search for SIP messages (signaling messages) and RTP packet, containing the voice conversation, and restrict their use on their networks.
Fact #3 Most Internet based VoIP Service Providers are NOT encrypting the voice traffic nor signaling message, making your conversation pretty much open to the public internet.
