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.<ul></ul> The shipping is just there in case you want to have the number listed in a different address than the billing information.

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. see: <a href="http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/faqs/changing-the-ring-to-number.html" rel="nofollow">faqs/changing-the-ring-to-number.html </a> .Bill Quimby.<ul></ul> You just contact whatever company you transferred the number to for the ongoing service.

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!

The first is about <a href="http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/blogs/manual/waiting-can-cost-more-than-you-realize.html" rel="nofollow">the cost of waiting until the last minute</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/blogs/guide/fake-it-till-you-make-it.html" rel="nofollow">Fake it till you make it</a>, 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.<ul></ul> Hi Jeff,
