Cutting In Line

One of the reasons for the aging process is to allow the end user of reactivate the number if they still want it, before it goes back into the available pool and is up for grabs for anyone else to get. That’s the principle behind the Cutting In Line process. If you get the old owner to sign off on the number you can get the number before it comes out of the aging process. It’s definitely not easy however, to get the old customer information, to track down the old customer, and get them to sign off on and release the number.

This can be a very difficult process and is only appropriate for really important numbers, or situations where you need the number faster. See the Cutting In Line section for more information.

    I placed a backorder on a very desirable 800 number in disconnect with Broadwing. I attempted to gather some customer information as part of Cutting in Line, following some of the tips. The tips worked to some extent, and yes the process is quite difficult. Broadwing evidently was acquired / merged with another company. The service rep. stated it looked like the # was with a resale company, Telecom. I attempted to confirm this with a 2nd Broadwing customer rep. Both rep’s wanted my callback information and one said a supervisor was necessary to research this as they were not finding the number under their service. The second rep. did additional research and called to say it simply was not with them; it was listed as ‘disconnect’, but she thought it must have been released into the pool already because it was not associated with any phone service. A call to Time Warner / Telecom was not returned. Even if the number is with Telecom, I would have to go through the whole process of getting the end-customer information. Bill is always available to take a call, and he helped with this process. Thank you -Matt W. P.S. the # is coming out of the pool soon, so at this point I will just take my chances and wait and see!

      Thanks for all your help in getting me a toll free vanity number for my business. My new number 1-877-APEXLOANS will no doubt be an asset. Your user friendly website, the speed with which you responded to every question and the 'no hassle' procedure for releasing the new number to the carrier of my choice is a testiment to your business model. Thanks again!

      TollFreeNumbers.com is great. I wouldn't get a toll free number anywhere else! The search is great and the service is awesome. We have used Bill Quimby to get numbers for our business and we thought we'd get one for our volunteer activities as well. :) practical wisdom for getting the most out of life

      I started looking for my own toll free number on a Friday and spent many hours trying to find the right one. Finally I came across Tollfreenumbers.com on Sunday. It was so easy to navigate through their web site find the perfect number and sign up, I only wish I found it sooner, Not only that, even after I made a mistake on Sunday I was still able to call and speak to Bill and he was extremely help full in fixing my mistake, Now that's good service.

      I fell in love with this site and your service on my very first order. I had ordered a number through AT&T, who said it would take 4-5 days to get the number. Then I noticed your site in my Google search results, so I clicked on it. I said to myself 'what the heck - I'll give these guys a try', and ordered the same number through you -- and got it in 5 minutes! (AT&T called back later to apologize that they couldn't get the number, and I told them I understood...)

      Since then we have purchased many numbers through you and it is awesome.

      What a great service you have! It was so easy to understand and the results were awesome. We needed a 800 number quick, and instead of waiting for, who knows how long, we were up and running within hours. We wanted to use something with our logo/ and or trademark. We found 877-CURETIME, which goes perfect with our HOURDOC.com "Curing Time". We would recommend your site to anyone. a scalable, web-based labor management and scheduling solution
