Acting Like A Phone Company?

Not a Phone CompanyGoogle purchased Grand Central in 2007 and relaunched it in 2009 as Google Voice. Which i think is a great product but in some eyes they are moving and behaving increasingly like a phone company.

The FCC is now effectively treating them more as one as well. They sent them a letter requesting information on early terminations that they sent to other wireless carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, T Mobile and Verizon. The interesting point is that the FCC is now looking at and treating Google as a phone company because they are acting like one.

That raises an interesting question. Would the corollary also be true. If you don’t act like a phone company will the FCC treat you like you’re not a phone company? We’re a good example. We don’t act like a regular phone company by any means. We don’t provide ongoing service. We’re also the of company trying to get rid of all of our customers as fast as we can. We’re a search engine for toll free numbers. We have to be a resporg in order to activate the numbers our customers need but as far as the FCC is concerned we’re not providing phone service nor are we behaving like a phone company so maybe by the FCC logic, we’re not a phone company or under their jurisdiction.

    I am a novice at this and as an owner of a small business in its third year, find the learning curve a bit challenging at times. Your service and website made it easy for me to do business with you.

    I must admit I was a bit nervous using an online company for a service so important for the function of my small and growing business.

    I had heard about your company through my search for a virtual assistant. Many offered to provide a toll free number and let me know they use your website. I heard positive comments and really got a sense of a high trust level from various answering services and virtual assistants I contacted via the web. It was with this that I visited your website and like they say the rest is history.

    I would highly recommend your website and your service. I must admit, when I saw your first few e-mails after purchasing the toll free number, I thought it was an auto-responder. In one of the e-mails, you invited questions or a response; I took a chance and WOW! You replied back in less than 24 hours, WITH A PERSONAL (NOT AN AUTOMATED) RESPONSE.

    I do not know how you do it, like many, I have been burned by using services on the web. My experience with your company and your site and has been the opposite and I felt the same sense of comfort and security as if I were shopping at a brick and mortar store.1-800 first place employment

    We can’t thank you enough for the outstanding service you provide for your customers. Our Team needed an easy-to-dial toll free phone number that consumers can call from their cell phones in-store while shopping to hear free samples of a powerful new audio Bible we are offering called The Bible Experience. Featuring performances by such mega-stars as Denzel Washington, Blair Underwood, Angela Bassett, Cuba Gooding Jr., LL Cool J – over 400 top Hollywood stars – coupled with movie-quality sound design, this audio Bible is a unique product that once people hear it, they have to get a copy. We expect the toll free number you obtained for us quickly and cost-effectively to have a significant positive impact on our sales. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!hearing is believing with the Bible Experience

    A great Toll Free Number should be critical to any marketing-savy company, but finding AND obtaining a decent number can be time consuming and frustrating. It was for us until we found your website: TollFreeNumbers.com. We absolutely love your service!

    No one makes it easier to find a number, brainstorm additional numbers, obtain the number, own the number, and monitor for new numbers. Plug in a few key words and an email address on your home page the automated system goes to work immediately. And no upfront costs! Seriously...it doesn't get any better.

    Best regards,
    Sam Willis

    I Have a couple other companies of which I acquired “TollFreeNumbers”, and for someone not familiar with obtaining a Vanity Number, it would be simply beyond their comprehension to understand just how easy and professional your system and method to acquire a vanity number, really is -- Simply put... You take the difficulty out of the process!

    You are always their to answer questions (and I mean ALWAYS -- even at 3:00 or 4:00 am, do you ever sleep? LOL). I Donate Worldwide uses mobile technology to facilitate donationsYour personnel is so helpful and professional. You are more than fair in your business practices, and it is really no surprise that you are the best company nationwide when it comes to acquiring the number you really want.

    Testimonial 1266 out of 1983

    I think it was early September when I was searching on line and came across a web site that talked about the 800 advantage and I was instantly interested. I did a goggle search under several key words and it appeared that one site continually showed up and dominated the search engines, TollFreeNumbers.com.

    Your site was filled with so much valuable information and also included a 60 page free ebook which I downloaded and read that night. I instantly went from someone that was very unknowledgeable about anything to do with 800 numbers to someone that could hold my own in a conversation with the best of them.

    I used the Keyword Lookup and Instant 800 LookUp tools on the site and it provided me with hundreds of possible 800 numbers that were either available now or in the disconnect period. I immediately found one 800 number that would work extremely well for my business and back ordered it from your site! I am currently waiting to see if you and your knowledge team can successfully get the number I've back ordered. I know you will do it! Numerous other on line 800 companies told me to Call Bill and he will get the number for you!

    I must say that I am also so impressed by the personal attention you have all provided. I was shocked when I originally called and you actually picked up the phone yourself. I felt like I was talking to the MVP of Toll Free Numbers after reading your book and reviewing all the powerful information on your site. You were very helpful and took the time to explain how to use the tools on the site and even typed in a search that immediately emailed me the results while we were still on the phone.

    I know I constantly email you many questions but I want to thank you for always responding almost immediately. I swear you guys don't sleep. No matter what time I email you I always get something back right away !

    I want to thank you for making this otherwise non-available information easy to find through your incredible network of sites! I would be lost with out this information!

    Thanks again for everything!

    We searched for hours and it seemed like everything was taken. We couldn't find anything that worked for our business but you came up with some amazing "1-800" options. We love the one you got us, 1-800 TRIM KING and have had a lot of customers compliment us on it. I would recommend you to anyone!
