They may or may in the future through their carrier Bandwidth. But you can certainly use another carrier to get the calls there if you need to. I wouldn't use the local company because local companies often make up those type of rules you're running into. It's not that they can't send the calls directly to your phone booth number, but they're in the business of selling local phone lines so they make up rules that say you have to point it to a local phone line and then forward that line to the other service. They make it sound like that's the only way to do it probably because it's the only way they can do it, but it's certainly not the only way to do it. You can use the Opex service in the packet we send out. If it's a Tier C number, which I'm guessing it is, you would pay about 4 to 5 cents per minute instead of the 3 cents per minute for a regular land line, but you can still send it there. You run into this with cell phones often too. But that's certainly much less than Verizon would charge even if you don't add into it the cost of the additional phone line they're requiring you to have. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything else. Bill Quimby<ul></ul> Hi Jeff,

I called and they said that it needs to be applied to a landline at all times, and I want to send it to the servoce "Phonebooth", so that I can have virtual office phone. I plan on moving my company to another location in the next couple of years, but the current building I am in will be undergoing renovations for the next year, which means I will need to move a couple of times in the next two years. To avoid all the phone line setups, I thought this was best. I just want to get rid of Verizon and yet keep my toll free number. Is it possible?<ul></ul> I have a toll free number with Verizon. can I take that from them, or do they own the number.

If you don't pay your bill (which is essentially telling them to cancel it) they will eventually take it away from you just like they will take away your house even if you own it outright, if you don't pay the taxes. Regarding your question about whether there's anything cheaper, feel free to look around. You can transfer it anywhere you want to go. I get the feeling that you would ask if there was anything cheaper no matter how cheap it is, so the best solution is to look around yourself. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else. Bill<ul></ul> Frank,

Now I want to find the right carrier so I don't lose service after this 30 day free service. I was told opex is a good company for me since it's just $2 a month and all I need to do is forward to my landline. That's it. Is there a company that's less money if that's possible? If not, how do I sign up to this service? Could not find them online. My final question is how long do I personally own this toll free number now that I paid the $50? Is this something I have to re-register at some point? Thanks frank<ul></ul> I just registered a toll free number. Now I want to find the right

        My final question is how long do I personally own this toll free
        number now that I paid the $50?
        Is this something I have to re-register at some point? Thanks
