999 is NOT a toll free area code (yet?)

999 area codeA couple people have asked me if we’re doing a $9.99 sale like we did on $8.88 activations on 8/8/8. Unfortunately 999 isn’t a toll free area code so it’s really not the same thing. It might be cool if 999 was a toll free area code because then you could put WWW in front of anything.

Maybe we should ask the FCC to introduce it as a special voip nationwide area code. Then it would be nationwide (non geographic with no specific state like toll free numbers) and they could let domain name owners have a period of time to request them before they can be requested by the general public. That would allow existing websites the opportunity to get the matching phone number to their website and would create an expectation or assumption that 999-whatever would go to www.whatever.com.

If most of the large companies picked it up, it could catch on pretty quickly. I just thought of it while writing what was going to be just a couple sentence post to let people know there would be no $9.99 activations today, but that might really be a cool idea. What do you think??? (leave some comments and feedback)

      Thank you very much for your services. Your webpage is very informative and cuts through all the fluff the others have out there.
      After reading your pdf about 800 numbers that make money I decided to go with a "real" 800 number for our business. After only 24hrs I had a great number that instantly activated.

      Your search engine really is the best that I have found. Some other sites have flashy gimmicks to seem professional and rope in customers. However, I soon noticed that it was only a facade. I found NOTHING promising on the other site but had several very nice options after using the search engine and tips provided by tollfreenumbers.com

      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

      Dear Bill,

      You run a great service and provided excellent customer service. I enjoyed, just like that, talking to you and your representatives, and getting the fastest and most efficient assistance. The process went without a hitch, including the transfer, the information you send in the form of a pdf document was thorough and very enlightening. I will DEFINITELY use your services over and over again, and refer everyone I know to use your services. It's good to know the old art of true good customer service is not lost.
      Thank you so much.

      Sincerely,
      John with 888-321-XMAS

      After first stumbling upon your site 3 or 4 years ago I've been able to get invaluable insight to a nice income by using shared use numbers in the marketplace. Your information is priceless and I love that you give so much information away freely. I've gotten my trademark thru your suggestion, and I've found many a toll free numbers thru your easy to use search. Many of times you've taken your time on the phone to share info with me that most people would not share or charge for. Thanks for all the help!

      The communication and service your company has provided has been exceptional. You made this "unfamiliar" process quite simple, were very patient, and held my hand from beginning to end. I got the number I wanted, and you had the service up and running much faster than I could have imagined. It was a pleasure doing business with you. You have a very happy customer here.

      Hopefully our site will be live within about a week, and as soon as it is, I'll send you the link to it.

      Thank you for your good work.
