Vonage Actually, it is the analog POTS line that is without encryption. This is the same
Actually, it is the analog POTS line that is without encryption. This is the same type of voice line over which businesses have been taking credit card orders for decades. I think it is a very rare instance that identity theft occurs with a thief actually tapping a POTS line for the information.
Inherently, the Vonage service DOES have a level of encryption which makes their network much more secure than the analog POTS line. By encrypting analog information into digital packets, and sending these packets down the line, all a thief would hear would be a hiss. Unless he was a snake, this hiss would mean nothing, unlike an analog POTS line whose audio information would be, immediately, understood and intelligible.
