Adjusting the 800 Lookup

We just added the year that the number was set up back into the 800 Lookup. The dates aren’t always perfect because just changing something can make the date start over, but it does help sometimes to see that information. We had taken it off in response to the SMS800 attorney’s request not to give out resporg information, but their finding that showing a number is active isn’t really revealing resporg information leads us to believe that the length of time it may have been active really doesn’t give much else.

The real reason this is important is that it makes the user who sees Active, Active Active Active on query after query feel that we are really looking it up more acurately. I also changed the term from “Already Active” to “In use” because that seems more easily understandable. It seems hard to understand why people don’t understand what “already active” meant, but you wouldn’t believe how many people ask me if that means they can get it. In use since XX is probably easier and my goal is to make it so easy that even the newest user understands it. And while I really try to get as many please to feel comfortable and want to contact us, I really want to minimize the number of obvious questions like that.

These little things probably don’t matter much to anyone else, but it’s this type of polished refinement that makes it such a great tool and resource. Kudos Bud Jay!

    "As a new company, we decided that the right vanity number was an important part of our launch. Toll-free worked with us and gave us many good ideas for vanity options, and we got two great numbers within two weeks of starting the process - and at a reasonable and fair price. Service and follow-up was also great.
    I would recommend Toll-free to anyone looking to purchase or find vanity numbers."

    In this day and age, you hardly can praise any company. Most treat their customers as if they do not matter.

    I want ALL of your future clients to know that I really write this from the heart and with utmost honesty, when I say tollfreenumbers.com is an exceptional service, with truly exceptional people. I bought my first toll number from tollfreenumbers.com, If I'm remembering correctly in 2002.

    Back then I thought the service was great, but since then I've bought a few more numbers, and can say, with great ease that the service is exceptional.

    Keep up the great work Bill! I also don't want to forget Rita. She's very helpful. You've always provided a 5-star service.

    Honestly, my experience with your company was great. Your web site was very user friendly and the cost was reasonable. I had browsed to a couple other web sites and they were more expensive and wanted to sell me things I didn't need. I was able to find a catchy 866 number with your search quickly, then I bought it and it was working immediately. As a Mortgage Broker in California getting this number (866) 936-FUND will help my advertising and get more name recognition.

    Thanks for your help.
