Indeed, it is not uncommon for firms to save more than 50 percent, and their only regret is that they did not switch sooner. Here are the 5 biggest ways that a **[VoIP phone system](https://www.votacall.com/equipment/voip-phones/polycom-phones)** helps law firms cut costs:   ### ****1. No Need to Install New Phone Lines**** With a conventional landline phone system, installing new phone lines is inconvenient and costly. However, with a VoIP phone system there simply are no lines to install – period! When law firms need a new line (or extension), they simply purchase additional licenses at extremely competitive prices. ### ****2. Unlimited Long Distance Calling for Free**** With a VoIP phone system, there is no longer such a thing as “long distance”. Authorized users can make calls from the office, or via an app on their smartphone, and connect with anyone around the world. Essentially, all calls are local. ### ****3. Unified Communication Features**** A VoIP phone system has a range of built-in (and constantly improving/innovating) **[unified communication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_communications)** features that empowers law firms to do more with less. These features include: voicemail-to-text, one-number-service, video conferencing, auto-attendant, direct-in-dial, and more. All of these are integrated with the VoIP offering, which alone typically amounts to savings of hundreds of dollars per month. ### ****4. Lower Labor & Overhead Costs**** A VoIP phone system enables law firms to “look big” by connecting all of their team members, even if they do not necessarily work in the same office. Instead of installing costly phone lines, team members (whether employees, contractors or freelancers) simply add a certified VoIP phone to their existing network and/or they access the system from their smartphone. And the auto-attendant feature noted above means that law firms do not necessarily need a receptionist to answer calls, which would save tens of thousands of dollars per year. ### ****5. Low Cost Toll-Free and Additional Numbers**** Conventional phone system providers love toll-free numbers, because they cost very little to set-up, but are offered at a steep price tag. Simply put: the profit margins are not just enormous, they are obscene! However, with a VoIP phone system, adding a toll-free number is highly affordable. Adding more numbers (different cities, different states) is also fast, easy and affordable. ### **Learn More** At Votacall, we pride ourselves on helping law firms reap the significant and ongoing cost savings of a leading-edge VoIP phone system.
