Bill has been fantastic to work with and has really helped us propel our business. We have purchased several vanity numbers from him at this point and he's the first person we look to when we are looking to add more. Great company, great site! 
Thanks for your help!

It was a real pleasure to see the number we wanted available and be able to reserve it immediately. We had been working directly with phone carriers for the past 3 weeks without success. Your site made number selection and availability status extremely easy. Thanks for an excellent on-line service.

I purchased my FIRST '800' number from TollFreeNumbers.com back in 2004 when I started as a Realtor working in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia. I truly believe that my vanity 1-800 number gives any business a sense of credibility! I credit some of my success to Bill Quimby and his company; Toll Free Numbers.com.
A week ago I started a NEW business using my skills as an artist/photographer to put together stunning virtual tours and home portraits for people who are trying to sell their home.
Naturally I went to Bill Quimby. I purchased '1-888-EZ-PRO-PICS.' In EXACTLY 60 seconds my number was working...ringing directly to my cell phone. I have never seen such a quick response. Incredible. I would recommend this website to anyone looking to beef up their professional image.
Thanks again Bill,

Thanks for your easy to use site! This is my second time using your service.
In the past, whenever I wanted to find a good vanity number, I had to keep putting combinations I liked into a little box and could work on this for hours. With your service I was able to find a number that worked for me within minutes. My phone was ringing almost instantly! Selecting my carrier was made easy too with your step by step guide. I'm sure your number will help my business GROW! Amazing!

Hi bill it was a great experience dealing with you, I called you because i was breaking my head trying to figure out a good name for my new restaurant fax back delivery service, within 3 minutes I had over one thousand choices, and then after I had sent you an order I received a great name better than the first one, I got so excited that instead of one toll free number now I have two, by the end of day I had all my paperwork and the numbers on the way to the carrier.

I surfed through many 1-800 websites and found yours to be the most informative, easy to navigate and fun to use. I was addicted to researching different numbers because I needed to register two numbers that resembled each other but had two different brand names in them.
After many attempts, I was successful and felt like I won a battle! I found your site as the best place to plug in multiple variations of the vanity number I was looking for and I received many new possibilities that I had never thought of. Thanks for providing me the tools to be successful!
Sincerely,

To find someone on the internet with a personal response is unique.

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
