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.
