Toll Free Numbers last forever!

like diamonds, toll free numbers never wear out.
Toll Free Numbers never wear out or expire and only get more and more valuable the more you use them. Very few things you do when you start your business are going to last for the life of your business.

That cutting edge computer you invested in will be slow and out of date in 3 or 4 years. That sign you put out in front of your business may last 10 years and the phone system you buy may be good for 6 to 10 years. You might spend anywhere from $500 to $5000 or more to build a website that is great today but it’ll be out of date and need to be replaced in a couple years. Almost everything you do in starting your business will eventually wear out, break or have to be thrown away in a few years.

Picking a toll free number is one of the only things you’re going to do in starting your business that can last you literally for the life of your business. Picking a good number will increase the response rate for all of your advertising literally for the life of your business. That’s why this is important and you shouldn’t let the phone company talk you into taking a random number just because it’s easier for them.

The more you advertise your toll free number, the more people we get used to it and remember it. The more labels you put it on the more re-orders you’re going to get every month. The longer you have your number on your website the more likely it is to get listed in other places. The more people dial your number the more they program them into their phones and phone books. Your phone number is one of the most important items you’ll list if someone buys your business. So you’re not spending a few dollars to get a good number, you’re investing a few dollars to get a permanent marketing tool for your business.

    I should add one thing though. Your toll free number is not indestructable like a Diamond. It can be used indefinitely, but if you don’t pay your bill to the phone company providing the service or if you cancel the service without transferring the toll free number to another provider it will eventually be disconnected and returned to the available pool.

      I’m confused. I read somewhere about someone that lost their number. I was under the impression that once I own it, they can’t take it away.

      I just paid for this toll-free number and it is mine for life – please confirm this is correct and explain this more.

      Thanks in advance for your time – I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

      Thanks,
      Brian Prince

        Brian,

        We don’t say a number is yours for “life” because there’s very little that you own that is guaranteed to last forever. We give you a birth certificate not a guarantee that it’ll never die, or that you don’t have to feed or maintain it.

        It’s like your house. You may own your house but if you stop paying your taxes eventually they are going to take it away from you. You own the right to use that number but if tell them to disconnect it, or stop paying the bill (which is essentially telling them to disconnect it) eventually they’ll get rid of it and either throw it back or give it to another customer.

        Maybe a better analogy is a timeshare. You buy a timeshare and you own it. You even get a title. But just because you own it and even have a title to it, doesn’t mean that if you don’t pay the maintenance (and keep it active) that they can’t ever take it away from you.

        Essentially it is permanently yours. It doesn’t expire and you have the end user right to keep using it as long as you want. But you also have the right to cancel it and the phone company has the right to cancel it if they’re not getting paid for it too. Or you could reverse the last part and say that although you have a right to use that number, you also have an obligation to pay the phone company for the use on the number or you will eventually lose your end user rights. Doesn’t that make sense?

        Bill

              Testimonial 1284 out of 1983

              One of the easiest and most helpful companies I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I found and bought our company 800 number in less than 15 minutes. I then placed a backorder for our preferred (but taken) number.

              The follow up from my purchase and aid in picking the best service provider has been over the top. The updates on my backorder are timely and informative. I even asked for help on buying an 800 number that was owned by another company and got an extremely helpful personal response within hours.

              I rate their speed and accuracy at 100% and their Customer Service at 100%. I see nothing that needs to be improved on.

              Your site is a treasure of honest, detailed, and practical explanations! Given that my timeframe is 1-3 months, your vanity backorder service is much better than the limited results from the available pool and nobody else offers this anywhere else. I am hopeful to secure a great number or two that have come up in my search as good potential.

              BOTH NUMBERS WERE ACTIVATED AND RINGING BACK TO ME BEFORE I COULD EVEN READ THE ORDER CONFIRMATION PAGE!

              I actually ended up activating two numbers based on Bill's suggestions when I visited with him by phone. He was very helpful, and the website really helped me to understand this whole crazy toll-free world.

              I am very happy to find another company that shares our company philosophy-offer customers personal service and the best solutions whether it makes you money or not, and in the end you will not only make money but have a lot of friends too.offering ink cartridge and toner solutions in the Pine Ridge and Cache Valley area

              As a current customer, you know that I've been waiting for this other number to become available for some time; thanks to your and your search tool, I finally have it. Your service is great and much appreciated. This number should be an asset to my company!

              Testimonial 892 out of 1983

              Most businesses spend a great deal of time strategically planning any new Vanity 800 Number. Bill Quimby's service not only gave me the number I wanted when other websites said they were unavailable, but I also had Operational 800 Service forwarding to my selected phone within 24 hours!! I now have an easy to remember number to promote a very complex technology.

              I want to thank you and your staff for the outstanding service you provide through your website. The 800 number search is amazing and enabled us to find the perfect toll free number for our business, 1-888-DADS-BOURBON. I couldn't believe how fast the activation was.

              Literally within seconds of completing my order, I called the number and it worked! I was so excited, I immediately updated our website and business stationary with the new number.90 Proof Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey chocolate and nuts I know having this number will have a profound impact on the growth of our business.

              Thanks again for everything,

              Wow, not only are your fees reasonable, but you saved me TIME. Dealing with the other phone companies was a nightmare!!! But working with your website was a godsend! Because your service was so easy, I wound up buying 9 numbers at once! Your site was JUST what I was looking for. You know, a company that doesn't overcharge, that doesn't make you jump through hoops, and a company that doesn't try to rent you out the phone number. Thank you tollfreenumbers.com, you now have a very satisfied customer.
