Virtual Phone (and Fax) System
As soon as a lawyer sets up shop, hanging the shingle, (s)he needs a phone system to 1) make calls, and 2) receive calls. One inexpensive way to receive calls (and faxes) is to use a “virtual phone system” like GotVmail.com. With GotVmail.com, you can set up your own vanity toll-free number (e.g. (877) BRIAN-1-2)
As of the date of this article, you can have a “virtual receptionist” take your messages for as little as $9.95 a month. Some of the best features include:
- Instant e-mail notification with an MP3 attachment of the voicemail (streams over gmail).
- Messages can be streamed on your iPhone.
- Your number has a dual-purpose — it can take messages and receive faxes. Faxes are sent to your e-mail as a PDF.
- Forward emergency phone calls to your cell phone or other designated number.
There are many more features, and it is worth checking out to see if this is right for you.
