Bill is professional and trustworthy. Thanks to him, I don't have to pay monthly rent. Instead, I am the owner of 1.866.www.eBANKey.com. What an impressive number! I am grateful for Bill's considerate and detail-oriented services.

Your company was amazingly helpful to me recently. I'm a dentist, and we do
Sedation Dentistry, where we can sedate our patients, and correct their dental problems while they are relaxed and comfortable. We are beginning a radio marketing program, and wanted to tie it into a vanity, toll free number, that would transfer to a cell phone in the office, so we could identify those people who were responding to the radio ad.
We tried unsuccessfully with several cell phone carriers, and none could give us a memorable number we could use in our marketing. Then I found your website, and within a few minutes, we had over 50 great "vanity" numbers from which to choose. And for less than $50, too. But your service didn't stop there - I still didn't know what to do next, ie. how do I get this number to ring to my cell phone? Then your very detailed instructions arrived in my e-mailbox, and within minutes, we were up and running. Absolutely great service!

I haven’t seen any other services, but if I did-I can't imagine them being anywhere as good as yours.
With your advice I saved about $25K and was able to buy an 866 number from Pathways for $10k after negotiations started over 35k. So thanks so much for your help and your invaluable advice.

The service you provided was excellent! Especially after I had let my 15 day reservations expire and I was still able to secure the number that we wanted. Thank you so much for your personalized service. I will recommend you to all of my colleagues. 
Thanks again,

Thanks for your great service! I dialed 888-MR-BUGGY within 2 minutes after I got the number and it was already transfered to our telephone number. Amazing!
Several years ago I invented the Roofers Buggy for residential roofers and have a cartoon that we are starting to use in our marketing; We call him MR Buggy and i am very excited about our new 888-MR-Buggy number.
Again Thanks,

I stumbled onto your site yesterday after massive searches for help in reserving a vanity toll free number. I rarely post responses online as I am very busy with my business, but I had to take a few minutes and praise you on your site.
The fact that you allow customers to reserve numbers for free while they check which ones to order is remarkable enough, but your search engine and suggestion tools are simply brilliant. It seems that your commitment to customer service is inspiring and the value of your service certainly exceeds your nominal fee. 
Keep up the good work!

Wow! What a great service. After attempting to find either on line chat or real person assistance through over half a dozen toll free number web sites I calledtollfreenumbers.com. My call was immediately answered by Bill. Bill helped me in real time--batta-bing! I had a great, targeted vanity toll free number working while I was on the phone with him. And he also provided me some extremely useful referral information for identifying a toll free

When a toll free number shows up on your caller id, it’s not there because the caller is calling you on a toll free number. Toll Free Numbers CAN’T make outbound calls. Think of them like remote call forwarded numbers that just forward callers to another local number.

Hello,
I have been to your web site for information and got a little lost although it seemed fairly easy.
I am setting up a website mrfranchiseman.com and needed an 800 number for callers
This number will be directed to my office number 949-253-4610.
However, because I am in an office suite, nobody can see my ID number and therefore I assume I cannot dial out with your long distance carrier as the machine will not recognise my number.
This is where I need help as well as choosing the best 800 number for my biz.

Fayaz,
It’s not really that hard. I’m working on a series to try and simplify it that may be helpful.

A toll free number is only for incoming calls. It doesn’t affect or change your outbound phone service and doesn’t change the caller ID information on the local numbers that the toll free number points to. You can still make outgoing calls but you’re making it from the local number, not the toll free number. You can’t make an outgoing call on a toll free number, because it’s not a separate physical line.

Toll Free Numbers in caller ID?
Toll free numbers are for incoming calls only. You can NOT make an out going call on a toll free number. The only way that toll free numbers can show up in your caller ID is if they are programmed to show there.
You and I can’t program what shows up in our caller ID. Only large companies with very large phone systems can program their caller ID. Typically a toll free number in the caller ID means Call Center or Telemarketer.
So it’s not that we have to stay away from toll free numbers, just realize that anyone that programs a toll free number into their caller ID is probably a telemarketer which you kind of figured and they are also hiding their identity.
We provide customers with toll free numbers and vanity numbers and customers sometimes ask how they can have the toll free number show up in their caller ID. I explain that unless you have a pbx phone system that allows you to program the caller ID the toll free number won’t show up, even if you’re calling from the number that the toll free number forwards to. But at the same time, it’s really not as much of a benefit to have it there as it might have been years ago. Today that tends to mean telemarketer.
I wrote this as a comment on another post by Dr. Glenn, warning children about toll free numbers that I thought was interesting. It’s a different perspective on toll free numbers than we usually have here, helping people find and get toll free numbers.

Bill,
Isn’t that called spoofing? Its unfortunate that callers will try to disguise their phone number under the precept of getting you to answer the phone call.

I’ve always thought that the best thing to do when you don’t recognize the phone number is just not answer it. Then if its truly important, the caller will leave a voicemail. The bad thing is that when they continue to call, the only thing you can do is answer and ask them to remove you from their list.

My company has a PBX and we control the name and number publishing when making calls. We purchased the service from our carrier to communicate the name and number for caller-id. We are having issues when we publish our 877 number with our name where our name is being replaced. When we publish with the local number our company name shows up just fine. Do you know why this would happen?

Sorry Tim,
I really don’t know except that I would try using a different carrier and if it handles it the same way you may have eliminated the carrier. If it works differently on a different carrier then you can bring that finding to your carrier and talk to them. You can change carriers on a per call basis by using the dial around code for a different carrier if you’re not on a trunk line directly to a specific carrier. So it should be easy to test. Sorry this is a little outside of my expertise, but good luck with it.

Interestingly enough, we’ve seen an increase of robo call complaints on our website http://www.callcatalog.com after the robo call law went into place in sept. More faked and odd caller id’s and phone numbers.

You should also read this article if you think you want your toll free number to be on your caller ID.

Caller ID process is fairly simple, but many carriers and networks simply fail to keep their databases updated http://www.onsip.com/blog/nicole/2012/02/06/the-travails-of-caller-id
