The only problem we just realized was that the number we searched on has too many digits. While traditional phone lines ignore the extra number if dialed, digital lines do not. They don't let the call go through. Consequently, we now have to advertise just the first 7 digits instead of the vanity name. The IQuest Group LLC<ul></ul> You provide a great service, thanks.

The issue is smaller on voip phones because most voip users use regular phones. It's only true voip service which is usually higher end businesses that don't use hosted services or hybrid voip. There are lots of very large businesses that use numbers over 7 digits. My favorite is 1-800 ROYAL CARIBBEAN, for it's extreme length, but there are lots more. I'm taking pictures of many of them to make a post that proves the point. The problem is often overblown by people theorizing the problem, but I don't see that talked about very much by people actually using numbers over 7 digits. It's nice if it comes out to 7 digits. But the advantage of having a more memorable number far outweighs the 7 digit issue. You can look for a different number if you want to but it honestly doesn't make sense to throw out the baby just because it's not perfect. My car isn't perfect but it gets me where I need to go. It would be silly to decide I have to walk just because my car isn't perfect. Is the advantage of using a vanity number better than the disadvantage of some people having to work a little harder to reach you. I guess you have answer that question for yourself, but If I waited till I had things perfect in my business I wouldn't have any business at all. Bill<ul></ul> Allan,
