Specific to your question, I do not know the answer.

But the internet is not completely private. For the most part, the communication between our computer [ a client ] and the computer on the internet to which we connect [ or through which you connect during conversations ] [ a server ] occurs on POTS [ plain old telephone service ]. When we connect to most financial sites, the information is encrypted, but it is possible for governments in particular, as well as organized crime to crack the encryption code and decipher the information being transmitted. 1 aspect of computer security is to make cracking the code take so long that the information gathered is useless.

Here, http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/357 , about 1/3 of the way down, begins 1 person's view of Skype. This is an example. Pay attention to the 256 bit encryption, which is very difficult to break, but not impossible to break.

Cell phone calls and land line calls with a cordless [ non cell phone ] phone calls are not completely safe.

Letters and packages sent through your mail service or private carriers such as DSL and FedEX, for example, can be intercepted or lost.

A recent, brief, article.

I suggest that you check the FAQ for the voice service you intend to use, for security information specific to your voip provider.
