Can we send a list of the “best” 800 numbers?

People ask this or variations of this sometimes, but it’s kind of like telling Match.com that you don’t want to waste time filling out the forms, to just send you a list of the “best” girls. Unfortunately it’s too big of a database and you need to give it more specific criteria. Our computer can search through the millions of numbers very quickly and give you options that are available which match your criteria. The computer can even find things that are related to what you’re looking for too. But you need to define “best” a little better for the computer to help you.
It might seem easier if we could just show you the secret list of all the best numbers, but it just doesn’t work that way. Our goal is isn’t actually to create a general list of all the “best” numbers. That wouldn’t really help very much because if we had that at least a thousand other people would have already looked at it just today, so how helpful would that really be?
Our goal is to be able to rank all of the numbers that are available or going to be available for your specific criteria. But in order to do that you need to put in your criteria. That’s why we have the Toll Free Search Engine to let you enter several terms or even specific combinations, so we can show you the best possible numbers for your specific terms which is ultimately much more valuable than trying to maintain a general list.

We had a special on 4 star numbers that we called the Bailout Special recently. One of the unique things with that special was that we made a list of two hundred 4 star numbers. It was interesting and helpful for some people that jumped on it. But unfortunately that also proved why we don’t make lists like that because it only takes a couple people looking for numbers before you run into duplication.
You would think that with two hundred numbers, all of which are really good, customers would be able to pick at least a few unique numbers before running into duplicates. But you’d be amazed how quickly that happens. That’s why it has to be a database because when you add hundreds of different companies and thousands of people looking for things, and racing to grab numbers, it gets more than a little crazy and totally impossible to keep that secret list of numbers that people often assume we have.
