Click the stork to Activate a toll free number

We’ve essentially reinvented the toll free process, combining the power and access of a phone company (but without the red tape and bureaucracy) with over 12 years of experience in the vanity number business, and the best technology and search tools, all designed� help you find the best possible number for are business, quickly and easily.� Unlike other phone companies that have no training, no incentive and no tools to help you, we know what to do and are focused on helping you find a better 800 number that you’ll own with absolutely no strings.

Most phone companies often take days just to check the availability of numbers and/or to activate the number you want.� There’s clearly no reason why it should take days to check or even activate a toll free number.� We prove that by checking and activating numbers in real time.�

Ask any regular phone company if they’ll give you proof of ownership for your toll free number and you can watch them dance around or hem and haw.� Some companies� say that your phone bill is your proof of ownership, but phone bills are notoriously filled with mistakes.� The bottom line is that regular phone companies ultimately don’t want you to be able to change carriers very easily.

Hi Bill,

My name is Anna. I was trying to back order a number through your website and there is one question on the oder form I don’t understand It is “Initial LOCAL ring-to” What is it?

The Initial Local Ring to number is the number you want to ring when people dial the toll free number.

There is a section on the activation form for shipping information. What is being shipped?

The shipping is just there in case you want to have the number listed in a different address than the billing information. We don’t ship anything, but that address will override the billing address of your credit card if you enter something different. That’s all.

How do I redirect this to another number once I begin using it?

You just contact whatever company you transferred the number to for the ongoing service. Some companies (usually the enhanced voicemail services) have a web control panel to change the ring to number. Most regular phone companies would require contacting customer service. If you’re changing the ring to number frequently you might want to use call forwarding from the local number it rings to.

I also emailed you about this, asking how I can reserve a phone number. I won’t need the # for another 18 months. Should I wait and search closer to that time? I’m a med student and can’t use any extra bills right now… let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

There are two great posts that relate directly to your question. The first is about the cost of waiting until the last minute, because you’re only looking at the cost of the service, and don’t realize the cost of waiting too long. The other post is called Fake it till you make it, because it covers the importance of having a toll free number ahead of time, before you launch the advertising.

It’s also cheaper than you realize just to have a toll free number. It’s probably a whole two or three bucks a month! That’s only about ten cents per day. So you don’t want to keep it on “reserve” you probably ought to go ahead and activate it.

We don’t charge anything of hold numbers but they can be considered abandoned after a year or two. So you wouldn’t want to leave it here for 18 months because that could wind up too long. We don’t have a specific deadline but you don’t want to leave them here either because that could cost you more than you realize, and having it ready will be worth more than you realize while costing you less than you probably thought.

The other point that I would make specifically to your situation is that if you find the perfect number you should get it because once it’s gone it won’t be available again. But you should also use the flexibility and time you have to your advantage. Use our Keyword Search at http://www.TollFreeNumbers.com/keyword/ and we’ll redo the research each month. There is a high turnover rate for toll free numbers so it might take a few months but eventually this will make it easy for you to be at the right place at the right time by just glancing at one email per month before you delete it.

I hope that answers the dif aspects of your question. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with anything else.

.Bill Quimby.
