Carriers with more than one Resporg may have an advatage getting 855 numbers

Companies with multiple resporgs may have an advantage for 855 numbers

The FCC limited each resporg to 100 new 855 numbers per day. But some phone companies have multiple resporgs, mostly from merging different companies. We talked for a few minutes to make a quick list of the regular phone companies that have multiple resporgs, since these companies could have an advantage getting 855 numbers.

It may not be as much of an advantage if it’s a really big company, since that probably means they have more customers that might be interested in getting 855 numbers. It’s also an advantage in a lot of ways if they didn’t really promote 855 numbers, although not caring could be a disadvantage too. I’ve listed several companies with the number of resporgs we believe they have. It gets confusing because some are in different names and some might have been dropped. But they still get the same ration of new 855 numbers.

The sweet spot is probably a smaller company that hasn’t really promoted 855 numbers and has multiple resporgs. And I included Sprint, not because they have multiple resporgs but just to point out that that they seem to be the only big company that doesn’t.

Big Companies:
AT&T (10)
Verizon (7)
Qwest (3)
Paetec (3)
Level3 (5)
Global Crossing (2)
Sprint (1)

Smaller Companies:
Birch Telecom (2)
Acceris (2)
Allstream (2)

    If we submit a request to a different resporg and we get the number, are we then obligated to use that resporg for the carrier?

      Bill,

      I’m not sure if there’s any universal answer or rule, but I would say you should at least use them for a while. I want to be fair to the people I work with and for them to be profitable, not just because I’m legally required to, but because it’s the right thing to do. And if a resporg gets you good numbers, then they’re probably a valuable resource which is worth more than the difference in one company versus another anyway.

            I had already purchased several toll free numbers from other businesses before I found this site. I found that it was cheaper for me to search, buy the numbers here, and have them transferred then it was to have other businesses do it. For example I bought two numbers here and activated them for $99. Another business was going to charge me $10 per month and a $10 setup fee per number for them to obtain the same numbers and set it up for me. As I said I bought them for $99 and transferred it to this other business for free. Doing this was only going to cost me a $2 setup fee and $2 per month per number. You do the math on the savings.

            I am amazed at the amount of service you provided in your site. I called for some clarification, and you were most helpful. I selected the number I wanted, after three searches, purchased the number and had it up and running within a half an hour. I am fairly new to this game but will be back to add to my other businesses. It is a great dimension to our marketing scheme. I will keep you posted on the results. If you ever have anyone skeptical about you and your website, feel free to have them give us a call, and I can explain the trouble we were having with the local phone company, to even look at a list of numbers, much less find one that worked. What a refreshing approach to actually find someone that is also selling a great service,that does what they say they will do.

            Just wanted to thank you for your help. I never expected to reach you on my first try and was pleasantly surprised there was no "press one for ...press two for... " etc. You took the time to answer all my questions.
            With patience and a little luck I secured one of the best vanity numbers I could hope for. I am so happy with it, I am currently in the process of changing the company name to the vanity number.

            Thank you,
            M. Solis

            Your entire team have been great and never dropped the ball. From finding us a vanity number, to registering and transferring the number to our carrier, everything was done expeditiously and professionally. We could not have asked for more.

            My experience with your company has been good. I had no experience with toll free numbers and the process, so your input was very valuable. I like your site. It's comprehensive and easy to understand.

            Sincerely,
