Toll Free Test Drive

Looking at your toll free number in the actual advertising is like taking it for a test drive

When you’ve narrowed down the list of potential toll free vanity numbers down to a handful, one good thing you can do to figure out which is the best for your project is to take them for a “toll free test drive.”

A toll free number isn’t a car so you obviously can’t drive it, but you can put it into your actual use and see how it feels in context. Make up a mock flyer or ad, or commercial and put the number into it. Make a couple versions and show them to a few people. Sometimes a certain number will flow better or sound better or fit in with the rest of the advertising better.

Even something as simple as putting the prospective toll free numbers onto your business cards and showing a handful of people will give a mini focus group and may make it easier to know which one or ones to go with. So pick the best couple numbers and put them into your actual advertising and see how much more memorable they make your advertising.

    I have 10 toll free numbers and I was wondering if there was a way to test them from other cities. I advertise my services in 54 cities and I have had some of my guys tell me some of the toll free numbers are not working and when called they hear; The number you are dialing can not be reached from that calling area. When I test the toll free numbers in my area, they work. I called my telephone provider and they say everything looks fine on their end, any thoughts? I can’t fly to all 54 cities and I don’t have guys lined up in all cities; is there an easy way?

        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!

        Thanks for the new toll free number. I can't believe we purchased the exact number our company needed -- 888-HYDRORAIN -- for just $49. The cost of a name that wasn't as good was going to run us $1,000's from a competing "800 vanity" service. And you were able to transfer service to our local number within just one day of our activating the number. I'm amazed!

        We were impressed with the process (quick and painless). It wasn't the first place that we checked but it was the last. It will definitely be our first choice in the future! (1-877-4-A-HOOKAH)

        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,

        Thank you for helping me find a great number! The process was easy and your Instant 800 Lookup feature was very helpful. Once I found a number and purchased it you and your staff provided the necessary information to transfer it over to my carrier. Not to mention your follow up has been terrific.

        I'm impressed with how fast it was activated (less than 1 minute). Another company's website said activation could take 30 days. Others had us lock in for a year.
