Not without a backup power supply, anyway.  If this is a concern, youc can buy 
a UPS and plug the VOIP box and router into it.  These devices draw so little 
power that they'll run for hours on a UPS designed to keep a PC alive for 20 
minutes.

If you have a laptop, it's also a good idea to plug your WiFi AP into the UPS.  
That way you'll have Internet access during a power outage.  Until your 
laptop battery gives out, anyway.

    Shawn.
