 //Also worth mentioning before you begin: Zoiper is easier on your phone's battery than Grandstream Wave, but offers you service buy-ups frequently upon startup.//\\
+**Caveats**
+  * Softphones are subject to your data connection (WiFi or cellular), and will never be as reliable as a desk phone.
+  * If using a WiFi network outside of your business or a cellular data connection, you may encounter network settings hostile to VOIP traffic (SIP ALG, DDOS, Carrier Grade NAT) that prevent your softphone extension from working effectively.  //**This is outside of our control.**//
+  * Your softphone app should be restarted periodically to keep the app in good working order.
+  * Your smartphone should be power cycled periodically to keep any softphone functioning correctly.
+  * Mission-critical traffic should always be directed to desk phones inside of your network.
