Because of a lack of overall security with many wireless networks,
VoWiFi still has a ways to go before it is convincing people
in droves to sign up for its services. In fact, it is frequently
known that when someone is using a wireless network, they can
easily jump on another Internet network connection simply by
visiting another “hotspot”. Before VoWiFi can really become a
serious challenge to cellular phone users, the issue of security
not only needs to be addressed, but it will also need to be corrected.
There are other issues that also need to be addressed. For instance,
since a hotspot only has a length of 90 Meters before losing
connection, many users do not see VoWiFi immediately replacing
their cellular carriers.
Yet, many users are finding it productive to carry Hybrid phones.
These phones are both dual VoWiFi and cellular. By using a Hybrid
phone, users can take advantage of their cellular phone service,
and then they can easily jump onto a network using their VoWiFi
and the applicable hotspot, and save fees on roaming charges.
For example, a user may be speaking on their cellular phone,
then if they get in their car and drive out of the range provided
by their telephone provider, they would be charged roaming fees.
If however, they can find an access point, they can jump onto
a Wireless Network and avoid roaming fees altogether. Currently,
there are no taxes or roaming charges associated with any of
VoIP services.

There will be many more advances in the future
for VoWiFi. There are already many companies embracing VoWiFi,
and other companies are addressing the needs for more stringent
wireless security. For example, there are higher security networks
in place now, that will decrease the chance of others tapping
into your access points. For many wireless users, this has
been the preferred method of wireless access.
As it is now, a VoWiFi phone is still more expensive than
a standard cellular phone, but as the technology advances,
price will most likely go down. Everyone is embracing the ability
to integrate video, data, audio, and web browsing capabilities
with their phones. VoWiFi also integrates wireless VoIP networking
to the package. Since this method is extremely cost efficient
as well as beneficial, there is no reason to suspect that this
service will decrease in the future.
As with the future of all VoIP products and services, the
FCC and US government is racing to provide rules and regulations.
It truly is a technology that is on the cutting edge of innovation.
In the past, all of the nation’s telephony needs were Circuit
Switched and based on the PSTN network. Today however, VoIP
is rewriting the rules of telecommunications. And just when
it seems that cellular phone services have worked out all of
their issues, along comes mobile VoIP with a whole new set
of problems. Besides security issues, there are other problems
besetting VoWiFi, such as weak batteries, the inability to
sustain a connection outside of a hotspot or 90 meter range,
and the cost of a VoWiFi phone is still expensive. Yet the
idea of integrating video, digital cameras, web cams, Email,
web based applications, and mobile phones is exciting consumers
world wide. And the onset of VoIP is even more thrilling for
the potential benefits and savings. The conception of the two
technologies into one super phone is hardly a surprise. In
the next few years, expect to see many new hybrid and VoWiFi
phones appearing on the local consumer market for sale.
