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.

    I just talked to friends and family about your wonderful service, but for certain it was unbelievable how fast and accurate is your service. Our organization got (2) toll free numbers within an hour and these numbers was working in just one day, not even the big companies such as Verizon or AT&T can work this fast. We really look forward to do business with you if possible.

    Thank so much and MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAN-TAS-TICO COMPANY!

    Once again THANK YOU

    Testimonial 693 out of 1983

    I just want to thank you,your service has greatly enhanced my knowledge on how to purchase an 800 # the RIGHT way. I cannot tell you how excited I am to OWN 888-AD MOGUL, the valuable information I retrieved from your site(s) made my decision that much easier to go ahead and purchase my vanity number through your personable and professionally geared web site.

    I do have one question however, Recently I had purchased an 888 number through mytollfreenumber.com, 888-WE MARKET,not only did they charge a lot more than you, I have still found it difficult to actually talk to a live person regarding transfer of the account.
