822 Numbers?!?!


It started out with just 800 numbers. Popularity soared with portability was first introduced in 1993, to the point that toll free numbers had to be rationed and they set aside 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, 833 and 822 numbers all for future expansion. 888 numbers were introduced in 1996. 877 numbers were introduced in 1998, and 866 numbers were later added in 1999.

Anyone in the toll free business knows this and knows that in the future we may need 855 numbers, but since the SMS/800 currently predicts that the current pool of toll free numbers will last until 2017, there’s very little expectation for 855 numbers to be released any time soon. If the current pool of numbers will last until 2017 when we have over 6 million available numbers, that means that at that same growth rate it would take about 37 years before we would need 822 numbers.

Why you shouldn’t hire people who don’t know about your business to write your articles

Who knows if we’ll even be using anything that resembles a phone or the same phone numbers 40 years from now. And who in their right mind would right about opening up 822 numbers? The obvious answer is that someone made up a list of topics to have someone write about, and they hired someone that isn’t even familiar with toll free numbers at all, to write their articles.

TollFreeNumber.org screwed up

Whoever wrote TollFreeNumber.org’s post about 822 numbers simply didn’t realize that the toll free area codes are being released in descending order not in ascending order. That means they probably aren’t even from the US, not to mention familiar with toll free numbers.

The article is not only pointless, but it makes tollfreenumber.org look stupid for allowing it to be published as well. It also points out another fact that, that they aren’t writing for people, they’re writing for search engines just to get those links on that post to their main pages in their website. The funny part is that they registered the domain name 822-numbers.com too!

They claim to be a “world class‿ toll free carrier but they aren’t even a phone company at all. They’re just a website selling other phone companies services with a lot of marketing hype.

          As a small business just starting out, my experience with your company has been truly exceptional! I was stunned to discover that you were able to get the vanity number of my choice. You not only IMMEDIATELY located and reserved that toll-free number for my company, but activated it INSTANTLY. You also went above and beyond the call of duty in customer service--including taking a phone call from me and answering endless questions late on a Friday night. That was very impressive! I am simply thrilled that I bumped into your website when I did. I honestly couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you so much for your help in setting up 877-MY-LASSO!

          Sincerely,

          Michelle M. Larkin, President

          " I just started a telecom outsource business TREVETEL and found your site very helpful and unique in that I was able to check for available toll free numbers on my own. Once I found one that was available you were able to reserve and activate it in a timely fashion. I appreciate the service and, in fact, will be looking at 800international and the other services in more detail. In addition, I am checking on a second toll free number that indicates that .....it may be disconnected and become available. I especially like the fact that you clearly indicate that the toll free number belongs to the person ordering. Also you do not try to bind others with contracts. Thanks again for your site, the straight forward information and the service rendered.

          Testimonial 1270 out of 1983

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

          Once I received Bill’s email it all fell into place! I sat down and came up with about 75+ combinations that I could use and then I called my local phone company. Next thing I know - I was done! Two days of frustration and pulling hair for nothing!

          The information your company provides is invaluable! I’m still amazed on why you do 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!

          Thank you in advance for your assistance!

          Another company wanted to charge $748 a month to "lease" a phone number I bought for $49.95 on your site! The search function was great, too. We are launching a radio infomercial about a nanotechnology energy patch and wanted something easy to remember and that tied into our message. We got 1-800-95-REVIVE. Thanks for a great service! I am SO glad I found your site!

          Testimonial 1941 out of 1983

          You guys are great. Your site made it easy for me to keep looking until I found a number that fit, and even though I did that search on a Sunday evening, it was working by 5:30am Monday morning, ringing right to my mobile as requested.

          On your site and in your manual, you also include a lot of extra useful information, unexpected and very much appreciated.

          Thank you,
