No ’800′ numbers available?

Out of the 7,690,000 possible 8-0-0 numbers, there are often times at this point when there won’t be ANY true ‘800’ numbers in the SMS/800 spare pool at all. That’s right, none at all.

You might think that the lookup tool is broken or it’s just not showing them, but it’s not. It’s easy to check if the Instant 800 Lookup on our site is working by submitting a query for all *s with 8** for the area code. That will always return 10 ‘866’ numbers because that’s what it looks for first. If you don’t specify what area code it’ll start with the ones most likely to have more numbers available, 866 and 877. That makes sense from a database programming stand point, even if it doesn’t really make much sense from a marketing point of view.

There are a couple solutions to this scarcity though. You can try searching after 1am (est) because the new numbers come out after midnight. So at that point most phone companies are still asleep but you can often get something. (My lookup isn’t usable from 11:55pm until 12:20am though to get backordered numbers)

You can also use the nice numeric options in my numeric number section at http://www.TollFreeNumbers.com/numeric.shtml. Those are a little more expensive than the more readily available spare $49 numbers, ranging from $99 to 995, but at least there are a few good ones that are ultimately better than you would be able to get with the lookup tool directly.

Finally as a last resort, we can get you random ‘800’ numbers from numbers that were reserved for 15 days and are scheduled to be thrown back into the pool. These are only $39, but you can’t pick them, hence the term random. But we will do our best to help you in any direction you need to go to get a “800″ number, activated quickly and transferring them to whatever company you want. The proof of ownership alone is worth way more than the $39 one time fee, no matter how much advertising they do.

    Testimonial 1252 out of 1983

    Thank you for the great service you provide and for the fantastic prices. I looked for the fine print to see where I was going to keep paying more money or where I didn't actually own the number, etc. Hmmmm, couldn't find it. I have purchased two numbers (one was available and one I was able to depend on you to get for me - which you did!) There wasn't any fine print - this certainly was a good deal!

    Thanks again,

    I wanted to thank you for taking care of getting our toll free number up and running. You commitment to quality service showed immediately. I had made a mistake in the number that I selected and paid for; after realizing it I called you and you were able to cancel the order and allow me to order the correct number.

    Thanks again for all your help and kindness.

    We were looking for a toll free phone number which was 1) easy to remember and 2) reflected our sport and organization. With 1-800-MARKETER, we simply submitted a few keywords and their software did the rest. Once we chose a number, it was active within 60 minutes! Thanks Bill, your service is remarkable!

    Testimonial 1120 out of 1983

    I was amazed to call the toll-free number that I obtained, after reading your email a minute after submitting my desired number. My cell phone to which the toll-free number was forwarded actually rang! How could it be any faster? I am now working on the design of my new business cards with the new toll-free number. Thanks for the super speedy service.

    The overall experience from your company, service, and user friendly website was outstanding. The phone number search applications & tools were beyond user friendly, they were very intuitive, and I really liked the additional suugestions and group of top picks reccomended.
    Also, on top of all that, in this culture of rarely getting a live person on the phone for help, you not only take calls, but are very accessable without even screening the calls! THAT, in itself is amazing!
    I salute you & your company.

    "When I first called, I was expecting another long voice mail/menu selection program, but to my surprise Bill himself answered immediately. He was patient, respectful and extremely knowledgeable of how to establish the best toll free numbers for my company. About five minutes into the call we tested the new numbers and confirmed perfect operation. Thanks a Million!"

    I am still blown away by your service. This was so easy and ice cold without mistakes. I would have payed double if I had know in advance that it would be this smooth. I only wish working with the phone companies was even 1/10th as easy. I have already told several people about the service.

    Thank you for find me my PERFECT NUMBER!

    Thank you so much for all your help in finding a great number for my Silpada Designs Sterling Silver Jewelry Business. Another business owner referred me to your website and suggested I do business with you as she was very happy. I'm glad I listen to her, it was good advice that you will be wise to follow too!
