Onebox fine print insanity

How can Onebox just make this stuff up?

If you were selling your car to someone who told you that it was standard procedure to keep the insurance on the car active for 90 days after you sold the car so they’d have time to get it insured, what would you do? Because that’s exactly what the Onebox transfer agreement says!

This is a follow up to a post I wrote a few days ago $200 Hidden Fees in Onebox.

Onebox is claiming that it’s common courtesy for the phone company you are leaving to continue providing the service on a toll free number for 90 days AFTER the toll free number has already been released to another carrier. This is so ridiculous that I don’t know how to even describe it. It’s EXACTLY like an insurance company saying it’s common courtesy for other insurance companies to continue providing coverage for a car for 90 days after the car is sold so the new insurance company has time to add it to the new owner’s account. If that’s not an excuse to blame someone else for poor service I don’t know what is! It’s so ridiculous I don’t know what else to say or think anything else is really even necessary. It’s just insane…

        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.

        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

        Your website has been very helpful. I spent days upon days reading it. Our catering truck is dubbed the "Slab Wagon", so we decided to use that as our phone number since it is easily associated with our service. The process has been seamless. Thanks!!

        I first became aware of toll-free numbers by "Phone Numbers That Make Money". Using the search tools at the web site allowed me to find some available numbers that apply to my business. It was fast and simple.

        Bill was "THE" most helpful person i ran across in this toll-free business. TollFreeNumbers.com wants to help, not just try to swindle as much money as they can. They even helped after the transaction was finished. I will never deal with anyone else.

        Awesome service. The second the credit card was processed, I received an email and before I could finish reading the email it was already ringing to my cellphone. Too fast to even describe.

        Thank you so much for the prompt, helpful, individual service! You delivered what was promised, quicker than promised, and personally followed up when we had questions. We were also pleasantly surprised and appreciative that you had saved us time by already filling out some of the necessary transfer forms for us.

        I have been playing with your site for the past couple of weeks trying to find the perfect phone number for my company. Then I received an email from Bill explaining how I could play around with some of the numbers to get some additional options.

        Initially I was having a hard time because I was trying to get an 800 number that would be identical to my local phone number. Once I received Bill's email it all fell into place! I sat down and came up with about 100+ combinations that I could use and immediately called my local phone company. Next thing I know - I was done! Two weeks of frustration for nothing!

        The information you guys provide for free is invaluable! I'm still amazed at how you (and why) guys do it! All I know is I'm glad you're doing it! It's great for small business owners and entrepreneurs. I'll make sure everyone I know who needs an 800 # knows about your site!

        I thought you guys were really nice before. Now I think you're awesome!

        Thank you for your help!

        Your site was the ONLY one I found that did very nice work of searching for possible toll free numbers without having the hassle of registering or creating a user account. I've forwarded the site to several colleagues already. Thanks again.

        I have been searching for good numbers for a while and have finally found 2 good numbers.
        Marketing is vital in business today and after researching the value of a vanity number and it ability to build business, this was a no brainer.
        A big thanks to Bill, Rita and the rest of the gang for making this process simple, easy and painless!!
