Misdials or problems with Q, Z, zeros or Os

0 = none
1 = none
2 = ABC
3 = DEF
4 = GHI
5 = JKL
6 = MNO
7 = P(Q)RS
8 = TUV
9 = WXY(Z)

When I first started this business in 1995, we had to stay away from any words with Q or Any, because some older phones didn’t have a Q or Z on the keypad or a few even had it on the ZERO button. The buttons we use now were standardized in the late 80s. Today there are VERY few phones left that don’t have the Q or Z or have them in a different place. So that really isn’t much of a concern any more.

Some people have also had issues with people confusing the ZERO button with the O (which is on the SIX button with M N O). That isn’t usually much of a factor except in very high volume, easily monitized 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 is probably 1-800-FLOWERS. It’s easy for any florist that uses FTD to take calls that go to them by mistake and 1-800-FLOWERS is a high volume application.There are of course numerous factors to weight in picking your number, but I wouldn’t avoid terms with Os. It may be worth checking, but I would only try to get the misdial zero option if it was a high volume monitizable situation.

    The process is easy, and the follow up information provided is simple yet thorough. This is my second time dealing with this company, and the service provided has been outstanding on both occasions. I highly recommend them for quick and easy acquisition of vanity toll free numbers.

    Bill Quimbly at TollFreeNumbers.com saved the day! I found out that the toll free number I had posted on 5000 direct mail pieces had been disoncected. I needed that number up and running as soon as possible or my customers and prospects were not going to be able to get a hold of our company. The phone service provider we deal with said it would take up to 7 business days to get that number back on line. Bill from TollFreeNumbers.com had my number up and running in under an Hour! commercial and industrial facility painting specialty coatings and sandblasting in New Jersey

    I can't thank you enough.

    WOW!!! I found a number I liked, paid for the number and no sooner had I hit the submit button than it was a working number dialing into my office!!!!!! I'm not used to service that fast. I'm used to "It will be 7-10 working days". I highly recommend tollfreenumbers.com

    Testimonial 1076 out of 1983

    Let's face it - finding an 800 number that you like with the services you need at the price you are willing to pay is hard! At least that is what I thought before I found TollFreeNumbers.com - one of Bill Quimby's incredibly helpful and informative websites specifically created for this purpose.

    I visited no less than a dozen 800 number sites. After several dozen e-mails (mostly from salespeople - not customer service reps), many phone calls and several hours of research and number searching I learned that most services will only "rent" you an 800 number for a high monthly fee AND with a very high per minute rate! Within seconds of visiting TollFreeNumbers.com I determined that we could OWN the exact same number for less than the other services were offering per month AND with a per minute rate that was 70% less than the competition! Our new number was up and running in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.

    Mr. Quimby's expertise and TollFreeNumbers.com's great customer service and amazing value make this the ONLY service any sane person would use when searching for that new 800 number. Thank you, Bill Quimby!

    Sincerely,
