I have been working on a plan to move my mobile number to a voip

carriers offer.
If you're worried about security, you might not want to do that. The
cell phone calls are encrypted with IPSec, but those VoIP provides use
plain SIP & RTP. At least that's what Fongo does.
That's why god invented SIP-TLS and SRTP.
Its a good thing that my VIOP povider supports this.
That being said.....
Cell phone calls may be encrypted with IPSec but its not a match for
moderately well equipped hackers.
Ask King Charles.
Once your call hits the PSTN your open to snooping from any number of
sources.
If your really concerned about security you will secure your phone with
a hammer and then bury the shards in cement.
