Anyone approaching the issue with an open mind must appreciate the ultimate validity of your justification. Most convincing is the fact that it is still a semi-free marketplace. Anyone can charge a fee for providing just about any service they want, and you can set that fee to whatever amount you wish. The marketplace then determines whether or not you are being reasonable. That's Free Market Economy 101 and the ultimate proof of whether you are providing value.<ul></ul> Although it is, as you concede, a bit long-winded, it is nonetheless brilliant.

Their IP address is 74.52.215.194 and when you Google “74.52.215.194″ you'll find that they are a labeled as a comment spammer. They also posted obnoxiously negative feedback about our new video too so it seems clear that my original suspicions about the author were true. Non-the-less it was interesting and allowed me to cover something I probably wouldn't have been able to do so directly without it.<ul></ul> Thanks Bob,

I own 8 toll free numbers, 6 of which I activated.."FOR FREE"...through the phone company. I cannot put into words how awfully time consuming and dramatic activating a toll-free through the phone company is. I am all about getting a good deal, and I can honestly say I would pay triple for your service. Keep up the good work. Dave<ul></ul> Hey Bill:

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 06:15:24 +0000 http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/blogs/are-we-skirting-the-law-or-selling-numbers.html#comment-601 For anyone considering getting a toll free number, this is by far the best service available to find a good number. I currently have a few hundred toll free numbers, and before I found out about this website I have literally spent hours on the phone with the phone company just to see what was available. A few times I got luckey, but most of the time I had to settle with a random "866" number. Bills service is truely unique, the search function is the best around, and when I find something I do like I can have it activated literally within minutes even late into the evening after all the phone companies are closed. Some might argue that the $49 search fee is too much money, when you can do the same thing for FREE with the phone company. The question you got to ask yourself is how much money is your time worth, and then you always run the risk of the number no longer being available when you call your phone company and find someone who actually knows what they are doing. Keep up the good work :)<ul></ul> For anyone considering getting a toll free number, this is by far the best service available to find a good number.

I rarely post responses online as I am very busy with my business, but I had to take a few minutes and praise you on your site. The fact that you allow customers to reserve numbers for free while they check which ones to order is remarkable enough, but your search engine and suggestion tools are simply brilliant. It seems that your commitment to customer service is inspiring and the value of your service certainly exceeds your nominal fee. As mentioned before Keep up the good work!<ul></ul> I stumbled onto your site yesterday after massive searches for help in reserving a vanity toll free number.
