My 1-800 CRYSTAL BALL is broken

I often get asked “How hard will it be or how much would it cost to get a specific number?”
Bill in Crystal Ball

That’s a hard question to answer without a crystal ball or some extra sense I guess I don’t have. It’s kind of like asking someone how hard it will be to get a particular girl to go out with you or even to marry you without even knowing if they’re seeing anyone or any information about them.

Unfortunately there’s no way to tell ahead of time. You can’t tell whether they’ll ultimately go out with you or marry you without doing all of the work to get up to that point of doing it. You can ask them out of the blue but it’s often not easy to get even get to the right person that’s able to make that decision and if you just ask them outright, you’ll usually just get a knee jerk response of no. It takes quite a bit of tact persuasion and effort to get to their final answer.

Actually now that I think about it I can tell you how hard some numbers will be. That’s the point of showing the Resporg Locked numbers. Those numbers will be somewhere between Super Hard and Impossible, generally leaning more toward the impossible. But aside from that there is no litmus test to see if someone will go out with you aside from asking them and there is no way to tell ahead of time whether someone will sell you their number or not and how much it would be. It’s a simple question but there is no simple answer.

Just like that girl that said no though, the answer could change if you ask at the right time, or if you do your homework and have the right offer too. That’s why we do our free monthly monitoring and searching for so many clients too. I know you want something right away (I didn’t fix the crystal ball, everyone always needs it yesterday) but again when you narrow your field down to just one particular girl, you almost certainly aren’t going to get that number quickly unless you throw way too much money at it.

I also have to point out again that although we have some tools to help you track numbers down and offer more advice about this than anyone, we do NOT act as bounty hunters and try to get other people to sell you their number. We act more like real estate agents and help you find other good numbers that are much more readily available. We work that way for several reasons, not the least of which is that most clients don’t realize how hard it is to get the number they picked out of the blue before even checking to see if it’s available. We’ll help you get some reasonable alternatives that are more readily available, and maybe a backup number in case she says no or to make it sound like you’re not so desperate in the negotiation. And most of all, we’ll be here for you when you realize that the first girl you dreamed about and fell for isn’t available.

    I am so happy that my long distance carrier referred me to your website, I got a number from you up and running with my carrier in less than 3 days, which is almost unbelievable. Your site is now in my bookmarks and you will get all my future business.

    Best Regards,

    Your site was very user friendly and results for vanity number searching were almost immediate. I was so excited to find a number that I thought could help some some additional business my way. I have already recommended your site to other small business owners I know!

    Thank you,

    It is rare when you can transact business via the web that someone takes the time to take a personal interest in your needs. Bill is one of those rare finds (I like to think that I am another!)

    As I scrolled down the list of available vanity numbers, I couldn't believe my eyes... 888-SCANVAN was available! The phone companies had lied to me.

    I asked Bill if it was a mistake and he told me that if it was on his list of available numbers, the number was available. He assured me that if I paid him $49.95, the number would be mine, and if it was somehow not available, there would be no charge. So, I went back to the site and paid the $49.95 Bill was asking for his service.

    Just a few minutes later, I received another e-mail from Bill, offering me congratulations on being the owner of 888-SCANVAN, and to try the number out, as the forwarding number was already in effect. I dialed the number and my phone began ringing. I couldn't believe my good luck. In just a few minutes, Bill had waved his magic wand, and all my vanity phone number problems had vanished.

    I highly recommend doing business with Bill. He does exactly what he promises.

    Testimonial 1126 out of 1701

    Although I have been using a toll-free number from a different source for a number of years, I had not really understood the process of how it was acquired for me, what options I had about picking and choosing one, and different approaches and strategies for acquiring a REAL GOOD one. All of this was explained to me on the website, which is VERY helpful and informative. All that was asked of me was to read it, and THEN if I had questions, to call. This is certainly very fair, and makes perfect sense.

    When I did call with questions, I was dealt with in a very professional, courteous, and personable manner. And by Bill himself! It felt like talking to a celebrity, because after seeing a TON of info online, and realizing he must have built this business of his from the ground up, I realized this guy is some kind of expert, an authority on the subject. So when a non-expert like me comes along, and has patience extended to him, I certainly appreciate it. I am grateful for the tremendous service provided to me by Bill. I would HIGHLY recommend him to ANYONE seeking these types of services. I am now a NEW customer, and very glad of it.

    You helped me secure 1-877-4-Figzoo. I really like the fact that TollFreeNumbers.com is honest and provides a real source for anyone wanting to become more educated about obtaining a great toll free number for their business.

    You are D’Man when it comes to toll-free numbers.

    Your customer service is second to none. I purchased my toll free number from your company several months ago and I could not be happier (877-88-MECCA). I feel very secure that my toll-free number will not get high-jacked by some phone company because of the toll-free number birth certificate you provided which proves I’m the owner of the number.

    I also I look forward to your monthly 800 watch e-mail because it keeps me abreast of toll-free numbers that I may be interested in purchasing but would have otherwise missed. Plus, your knowledge of the toll-free number industry is very insightful and informative.

    Thanks again for your dedication to making the toll-free number purchase experience less stressful and more enjoyable for business owners. Keep up the great work!

    Sincerely,

    Ty Hicks, President

    Several years back I purchased the wrong 800 number from you by accident. When I called, you refunded my money on the spot even though I told you I thought I should pay for it anyway. When I needed a new 800 number, I came to you first and within 30 seconds it was activated and live. You offer such substantial value and expertise with your service. I don't what I would do without it. I'm not sure how people did this in the past. Glad I don't have to know - thank you!

    "Since I found out about TollFreeNumbers.com and Bill Quimby I have purchased over 10 numbers and have referred them to everyone I know that started a new business or needed a toll free number. They make things SO much easier.
