Congratulations to CallSource.com

1-800 CALL SOURCECallSource.com, a shared use and routing company nabbed almost half of the 22,000 new toll free numbers released on 2/15. It only took about two minutes for all 22,000 numbers converted from RCC numbers into regular toll free numbers to be exhausted and Call Source got almost HALF of them. How many of them were taken for actual end users is an interesting question though and they weren’t the only ones that got a huge chunk either.

Call Source got 10,029 followed closely by Signal One who took 6,949 for their mass misdial marketing business, promoting their 1010 directory assistance service. That does seem a bit odd though considering that none of those numbers had ever been used so they would probably receive fewer misdials overall than most 800 numbers.

Nobody else even got anything in the thousands including Primetel who was conspicuously absent from the list. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions or assume anything from these numbers. Maybe Call Source and Signal One had thousands of customers requesting toll free numbers. We don’t share these numbers to hurt or embarrass anyone. But it certainly does raise some questions about these companies and the industry.

Feel free to post questions or your reactions here too. We value your two cents and hope we can return it with interest.

      When I registered I didnt know how these toll free numbers work, these numbers are not well known in The Netherlands, but Bill helped me fantastically! He is very devoted to his work.

      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

      When I called a carrier to grab an 888 number I knew was available from the AT&T look-up tool, they told me their "national database" (they didn't know which) said it was unavailable. Assuming they were full of it, I found your website and I grabbed the EXACT number they said was unavailable in about 2 minutes. Like I always say, "Most people are wrong about most things most of the time."

      I wanted to thank you for your service. I feel like we could be friends even though we haven't met. I like the details and information you provide all along the way. I like the other websites you have (even took some photos of phones... hope it's OK with you). And of course I love the amazing tool to find numbers. That's a big help for customers like me.

      Thanks and keep up the good work.

      Not only was it the easiest system to use, but Bill was very helpful and quick to respond (even when I wasn't a customer). I found out that after 45 days, if the number hasn't been assigned, that it would go back on the "list". Sure enough I keep checking and found the same exact number I wanted and had used on all my marketing materials. I immediately called Bill and grabbed the number up. Bill was so helpful! He explained what I needed to do to get the number assigned to a carrier, how that transfer process worked, what forms would be needed and who would be giving them to me. He asked me questions about my company and how I would be using the 888# to best direct me to a good carrier that would meet my needs. I had the number I wanted and the activation I needed all in 5 minutes. Literally, I was up and running with my vanity number in 5 minutes, not 3 months! I was so relieved!
