[asterisk-users] Question about SS7

[Mik Cheez]

How VOIP relates to SS7 is fairly simple; you aren't going to connect to 
an SS7 network with VOIP unless you have some kind of bridge between the 
two.

As for what SS7 is able to send in terms of data, there is a huge list. 
  This includes data sent before a channel is aquired, data sent during, 
as well as after a call is placed.

In all, what others have said is true; you only need to worry about SS7 
if you're required to.
