Password on your toll free number?

800 number password

Sometimes when people set up a new toll free number they hear a confusing message asking them for a password when they first test their toll free number. It gets even more confusing when they call up and tell the phone company that their toll free number isn’t working. Because when the phone company calls it, they don’t aren’t calling from the ring to number, so it seems to work fine.

Dialing your own local phone number is usually how you reach your voicemail on most cell phones or regular phones. And when you dial your toll free number, if it forwards to the number you’re dialing from, the local phone company thinks you dialed your own local number and sends you to your voicemail. So the password isn’t on the toll free number, it’s just your voicemail password.

This pops up every once in a while so I just figured I’d write up a quick explanation here to hopefully avoid a little confusion or embarrassment.

    We recommend Bill Quimby because he provides personalized, professional and quick service. We began the process at 8:00 PM and our 800 number was working the next morning. Bill was available by phone to help us after his competition had already gone to bed. Bill exceeded our expectations.

    Years ago, when I was in business school I had a professor that said something that I still remember today. He said: "if you want to go into business and be successful, go spend a night at the Four Seasons Hotel."

    Now what does that have to do with Bill Quimby and Toll Free Numbers you ask?

    EVERYTHING!

    Bill's service doesn't cost nearly what a night at the Four Season's does but if you pay attention, he will teach you how to provide the same type of customer service that will keep your customers coming back over and over.

    Now how much is that worth?

    Your customer service is excellent. But, most of all, I REALLY liked how you set up the search engine. I tried a few other web sites, but the design led me to dead ends for suggested vanity numbers. Yours had extensive capabilities that allowed me to search through the thousands of possible combinations and find a good one.

    I wanted the term VolX as this is the acronym and logo of our company. However, NOTHING seemed to make sense to put on the end. Then I found 888-VolX-Corp. This was PERFECT.volx volatility exchange corp

    My experience was good with getting a toll free number. I found choosing one to be difficult and chose from the wrong list of numbers which delayed getting one. Your selection is amazing and gave options I had not thought of.

    Thank you for your prompt response. I will add you to the short list of quality companies concerning that under promise, and over deliver, and consistently provide more than was bargained for before and after the fee is collected. My short list are those whom I recommend to others.

    Thank you.
