Virtual phone system
Are you looking to use a virtual phone system for your law firm? Below we’ll provide the information you need to make a decision.
What is a virtual phone system?
A virtual phone system, sometimes known as VoIP (Voice over IP) is a cloud-based technology that allows a business to handle their phone calls from anywhere. Like a traditional landline or cell phone system, virtual phone systems still provide normal 10-digit phone numbers. However, unlike those systems, a virtual phone system functions not with telephone wires or cell towers, but with the internet.
The cloud-based nature of a virtual phone system is especially useful for lawyers. Rather than having to juggle multiple phones and call forwarding procedures, lawyers can rely on a virtual phone system to handle multiple phone lines all from one easy-to-use interface, usually an app on your smartphone.
How can a virtual phone system help my law firm?
Keep your personal number private
With a virtual phone system, you can make outbound calls to your new leads and clients from your smartphone without giving them your personal phone number.
Make calls ring everywhere
A virtual phone system allows you to set up multiple phones to ring whenever someone calls one of your phone lines. That way, whether you’re on the street or in your office, you’ll always have the opportunity to answer.
Forget about call forwarding settings
One of the benefits of a virtual phone system is that you get all of the above benefits without having to worry about turning your call forwarding on and off as you move throughout your day.
