2) conferencing service (where you distribute a number and everyone calls in)
3) email host
zoom.us is great for this, people can use a link to join meetings via video, or call in for just audioGoogle Apps (now it's called GSuite)
A friend of mine is starting a new law office and wants to be able to expand in the future. He will not have physical space initially.Any recommendations for:1) phone system. was thinking google voice but he wants to be able to have extensions in the future. Can a GV number be ported to a more robust system?
You can have a VoIP phone line for $20 a month that will provide you those features, and just buy a VoIP phone. Someone recently told me that Verizon has such a service that cen be used on your smartphone as well.+1 G-suit is the easiest way to go
Thanks. Looks like something like Vonage can work. It has a lot of good VoIP features plus integrated conference calling with a dial in option

What is the reason to buy a voip phone? Can't a regular phone connect to the Vonage box?
There's no box for vonage AFAIK, just VOIP phones that you plug into ethernet and an outlet, and configure online so it's set up for your phone system.

There's also Grasshopper, which doesn't work with physical phones but only with smartphones.
Thanks for all the responses. Right now he doesn't really need anything more than what GV offers and it has the nice bonus of being free. The question is if it can be expanded in the future or at least have the number ported
The number can definitely be ported out later
Looking to convert my office lines to VOIP. I would need a service with auto attendant and ability to have desk phones. Tried GV (workspace) didn't work out. I've read about Nextiva, Ringcentral 8X8 etc... Any recommendations? TIA
