Testimonial 1507 out of 1964
I purchased my FIRST '800' number from TollFreeNumbers.com back in 2004 when I started as a Realtor working in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia. I truly believe that my vanity 1-800 number gives any business a sense of credibility! I credit some of my success to Bill Quimby and his company; Toll Free Numbers.com.
A week ago I started a NEW business using my skills as an artist/photographer to put together stunning virtual tours and home portraits for people who are trying to sell their home.
Naturally I went to Bill Quimby. I purchased '1-888-EZ-PRO-PICS.' In EXACTLY 60 seconds my number was working...ringing directly to my cell phone. I have never seen such a quick response. Incredible. I would recommend this website to anyone looking to beef up their professional image.
Thanks again Bill,

Bill was "THE" most helpful person i ran across in this toll-free business. TollFreeNumbers.com wants to help, not just try to swindle as much money as they can. They even helped after the transaction was finished. I will never deal with anyone else.

We are a small consulting company that helps customers with there voice and data needs. Many times I look at what they are paying for long distance charges and 800 service. There are companies out there that are stealing from there customers. How can they get away with this? Tollfreenumbers.com is a very no brainer web site that allows me and my customers to find a number that is very effective in there marketing plans and keeping the cost down.
Thanks Bill for everything you do.

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 :)

I got a powerpoint slideshow from Phone Names recently explaining how blackberry users can enter vanity numbers with letters, even though they don’t line up in the traditional sense.

Toll free numbers are great for my advertising but I realized something when I got my blackberry and noticed that even teenagers were holding blackberry’s and smart phones in their hands instead of the older flips with normal key pads; vanity numbers have a short life expectancy.
I’m not knocking your business, it’s just a trend.

David,
No, it’s not really a trend so much as a single piece of data and it’s not hurting the usage. Think about the other side and how many kids and people of all ages that are texting people now. They don’t look at the keys and can spell things amazingly fast with just numbers, depending on their phones. A lot of phones now have full keyboards which actually make dialing vanity numbers insanely easier. You’re only looking at one phone and projecting the whole world will soon be using a blackberry which probably isn’t the case. Also take a look at http://www.TollFreeNumbers.com/blackberry Because blackberry has come up with a solution. Oh and how many years have blackberries been around? It’s more than 5 years I think. It’s kind of like saying that the internet is going to eliminate the public library or dozens of other predictions people make.
Companies don’t use vanity numbers because they’re easier to dial. They use them because they’re easier to remember. And the fact that it takes a few extra seconds to dial doesn’t hurt them in some ways it could help them. It’s like using a jingle that people don’t like but which sticks in their heads. The bottom line is that making your front door easier to find is what brings in sales, not easier to open. If making your front door easier to open was the trick, every store in the world would have sensors to open the door as you walk up. And you wouldn’t have ever heard of the adage, “Location, Location, Location.”
You can predict that people will stop talking on the phone because your teenager uses it mostly for sending texts. You have to be careful when you project a trend you see in your personal life into the future too much. It’s kind of like projecting that the world is going to flood just because it’s raining where you are personally. It’s easy to assume it’s always going to be raining when it’s raining and going to be sunny when it’s sunny. But fortunately life doesn’t work really work like that.

I checked out the link you sent me about the Blackberry solution to the vanity number question to see what’s up. I see you put my last concerns up there which while I wish I done my research first, since I was thinking it there must have been others too. I like Blackberry’s solution. If the other companies follow it in their programming that would be awesome. It’s the little cheapy phones, sliders that have QWERTY keyboards that have worried me. So, guess what, I have a UT Starcom Blitz, a cheap slider that I use for texting. I pressed the blue circle button which changes you from numbers to letters, typed in my own vanity number which I got from you, pressed send and damn, IT FREAKIN WORKED!!! Also even though my Vanity Number is 8 digits, I didn’t even have to remember to only put in 7 it dialed correctly with all 8.
I stand gratefully corrected.

One of my customers informed me that his new Blackberry did not have the same letters on the keypad that correlate to the standard phone keypad.
I just got a Blackberry Storm and I know that it has the correct letters.
So they are starting to consider vanity numbers in their design better now too!

I am still having problem after using the ALT key on the keypad. some of the letters that i type, they appear 2 times. So i have to delete them and enter again.
for example 1800COMCAST, If i don’t use delete, this how it comes 1800COOMCCASST.
I think i am missing some setup! pls advise.

I’ve never heard anyone having that type of problem. I don’t use a blackberry any more but my previous cell phone was a blackberry and it worked fine.
It sounds like a dialing issue, which I’m sure you have considered. But perhaps it changes the sensitivity of the keys when you do that on your phone.

The concern of dialing a vanity number from a blackberry has come up several times in my business (1-800-PLUMBING)
When I first looked at the keypads, I was disappointed that Blackberry decided not to keep the same hard mapping of numbers and letters as the keys are so small that it would not be physically practical to put all that information on the small keys of some of the devices.
So, I understand that if you hold down the shift key and enter the number, then hit send, it will do the conversion. I really believe that they missed the boat on that one.
According to Bill Quimby, I should inform all my customers how to do this on their Blacberry.
When I first looked at this, I thought that they would have to put back the mapping, but I am quite sure they will not do that. However, there is a simple software fix, that will not requre the shift key be pushed to dial a vanity number. All Blackberry would have to do is upgrade their software so the user can automatically dial letters or numbers when making a phone call.
From a software perspective, it would be a little bit of work, but I am sure it would just be a small part of some upgraded software version that they have quite often.
If anyone else supports this fix, please comment and/or get in touch with me. I think we will have to get some momentum before this can be turned into a reality.
