What should law firms look for in a VoIP phone system?
down arrow

Law firms should look for the following functionality in a VoIP solution:
• Shared numbers to split responsibility for incoming phone calls and texts and to enable visibility into ongoing client communications 
• Auto attendants or virtual receptionists to help clients connect with the right member of your team
SMS and MMS text messaging to build stronger client relationships and answer urgent questions
• Automatic call recording and AI call transcripts to record your client details and keep track of everything that will be discussed with your clients. 
• Voicemail-to-email transcription helps your team track incoming client voicemails and respond to them efficiently

How does a VoIP phone service benefit lawyers?
down arrow

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services offer several benefits to law firms:

Flexibility:
VoIP solutions help law practices manage their case load remotely. They can communicate with clients and their team in the office or on the go, wherever they may be needed. Traditional law firm phone systems don’t offer that flexibility to legal teams, which can hamper the client experience since lawyers can’t get back to them quickly. 

Easy case management:
VoIP phone services help attorneys manage their cases more easily. Features like AI call summaries and transcriptions and automatic CRM tracking help legal teams track their client conversations without spending time taking extensive notes. Team members can also tag their colleagues next to a conversation thread to resolve any outstanding issues. 

Cost-effective:
VoIP providers don’t require custom hardware to access their platforms, so lawyers can bring their own devices and softphones to access their practice management software. And since adding multiple phone lines can be done in minutes and isn’t too expensive, VoIP solutions can easily scale with firms as they grow.

What is the best VoIP solution for small businesses?
down arrow

While there are many VoIP providers available for law firms to choose from, including RingCentral, Dialpad, Ooma, and Nextiva, none of these options cater to small businesses that are just getting started or are growing fast. 

OpenPhone is the best VoIP solution for small businesses. Our plans offer all the essential VoIP features small law firms need at affordable price points. Check out our comparison of all the small business phone systems and the top apps for lawyers you can choose from, and see why OpenPhone is the best option for you.

How quickly can I port my existing numbers to OpenPhone?
down arrow

How long it takes to port a number depends on the type of port.
– Simple ports among wireless service providers take 1 business day or less — for example if you’re porting 1 phone number and don’t need to switch equipment.
– Ports from a wireline (landline) to wireless service take a bit longer.
– Porting a local US number to a virtual/internet-based phone system takes 5-7 business days. Moving a Canadian number to a virtual phone system can take 7-10 business days.

The good news is that while the port is taking place, you’re still able to use your phone number. Just make sure not to cancel the service with your old provider while the port is in process.

Can I text customers immediately after creating my OpenPhone account? 
down arrow

You can send texts with OpenPhone in 2-5 business days. You’ll need to an active account and complete US carrier registration before you can get started sending texts.
