The ZERO misdial

toll free misdials of zero and O

How big of a misdial problem is associated with the ZERO instead of the letter “O”?

That isn’t usually much of a factor except in very high volume, easily monetized commercial situations. In other words, unless you get a huge number of calls for something that people can easily make money from, it really doesn’t matter much. The best example of it being a problem is 1-800 FLOWERS. It’s easy for any florist to take orders and just send them via FTD to anywhere, so with their high volume of calls, that was an issue.

However, for 99.8% of the customers getting toll free numbers, with O’s it’s not a problem or concern at all. The bottom line is NOT to bypass or even worry about using a vanity number with an O in it. I would only try to get the misdial zero option if it were a high volume of calls and something that a competitor could easily make money from. On the other hand, don’t forget to check the misdial versions of your competitors or if you’re a distributor of a product check the main company’s number for misdials. Many people make a lot more money than you would suspect almost invisibly on wrong numbers.

    Its not often that I run across a company that delivers EVERYTHING it promises. Bill Quimby and his company www.TollFreeNumbers.com gave even more. In addition to having me up and running in a matter of minutes, Bill also spoke to me personally, and included additional cost saving ideas for using my 800 number. They certainly have earned my business and I wholeheartedly recommend this service to everyone.

    I must say that before calling you, I had become exceedingly frustrated with the whole process of finding an available number that met my company objectives. I was just about to reluctantly give up and settle for a regular number when I spoke with you. Considering I'm a Customer Service expert who trains and consults small, medium and large companies in this area, you certainly impressed me and met my needs. Thanks again for saving the day and keep up the great work.

    I had lot of mis-givings about the 800 numbers. It is amazing to see some one so open all about the business and with details on the to dos, gotchas and what not.
    Thanks a lot guys, as an NPO representative, I fully appreciate the helpful nature with which you guys assisted me on the phone too (rare again).

    May America Blossom with more business like this one.

    Your service was very good. I'm glad that I reserved a number through you. You understand the importance of getting a number reserved quickly. I could have gotten the number for free through my long distance company, but they don't understand the importance and aren't motivated to reserve a number quickly.
