SMS800
The SMS/800 manages the national database of all toll free numbers. They work with the Responsible Organizations (the phone companies that have access into the SMS/800 system) but can’t do much for end users. Their website sms800.com has some resources and may be helpful too, but most people really only want to know how the system works in relation to getting the best numbers.
There are some limitations in the current resporg system. For instance it only returns a maximum of 10 matching numbers even if there are more. It also starts with the 866 numbers then 877, 888 and lastly 800 numbers if there are more than 10 numbers available It also puts a short hold on a number when it returns the number so it will show up as not available when you check a second time within 5 to 10 minutes. This is to prevent you from getting the same 10 numbers over and over again. This means if you want to find ALL the numbers that start with WORD, you can do a search for WORD*** and hit lookup repeatedly. It’ll give you different numbers each time until there are no more matching numbers. This can be very helpful but remember the Results Emailer will only remember the last result for each search if you do multiple searches.
