Local Phone Companies say ridiculous things

local phone companies don't like forward 800 numbers to cell phones

If you want a toll free number that goes to your cell phone and ask your local phone company you may hear something pretty silly. Local phone companies sometimes tell you that you need to get a new separate local phone line and point the toll free calls there and then forward that new local number to your cell phone. This is just totally ridiculous and winds up costing you several times as much as would if you sent your toll free number straight to your cell phone.

Local phone companies are in business to sell local phone lines so that definitely helps them sell more local phone lines. But it also means you need a separate phone line, which is probably about $30 per month, and then you are not only paying about twice as much for the toll free calls going to the wrong number, you’re also paying for the forwarding of the calls from that local number to your cell phone. But wait, they’re now all instate calls so the forwarding is also much more expensive too.

In the end you’ll probably wind up paying at least 3 to 5 times or more, by going to your local phone company in that situation. There’s nothing that inherently prevents toll free numbers from going to a cell phone. The local phone company just invents their own rules about forwarding your toll free calls to your cell phone. This is one of the worst case scenarios but the local phone company is in business to sell you local phone service, not toll free service. That’s why we usually say that your local phone company is the most expensive, most restrictive and hardest to work with choice you can make.

    Bill you are AWESOME!! Thanks a bunch. If everyone was able to run a business like you, we would live in a much happier world. Two of my friends that I told about your site, found numbers for themselves already and bought them in the last week too.

    I run a very upscale and successful pavement maintenance business in Hunterdon county NJ. Ive been looking for a little marketing boost after being in the business for over 15 years and I think this is it!! I recently purchased 1-877-4beckage for my business and will be putting it on all my literature soon.In a fast paced world of cut throat businesses, you have got to find a way to differentiate yourself from the next guy and I think this will help greatly.

    Believe it or not your site has also got some new and other old ideas flowing in my head for other business ventures and with finding the rite numbers for them , I bought them as well!!! You know what they say, you cant keep a good man down!! 1-800 pavement contractorGod bless the ever presant go getter in the both of us! I will be passing on this great site to about 40 friends in a business group im in and will tell them all how easy your site is to use. I will write you a nice testamonial for your web site also very soon. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks much,

    Most businesses spend a great deal of time strategically planning any new Vanity 800 Number. Bill Quimby's service not only gave me the number I wanted when other websites said they were unavailable, but I also had Operational 800 Service forwarding to my selected phone within 24 hours!! I now have an easy to remember number to promote a very complex technology.
