Your phone bill may include extra fees for things you don’t want?

03/23/2008

Telecom AssociationThis really isn’t specific to toll free numbers but if you’re using the biggest local phone company in your area, you may be getting hit with extra fees for things you don’t want. That’s because your local phone company will add fees for other companies without validating them. It’s up to you to check your bill and ask for them to be removed. This post by the Telecom Association on Unwanted Charges goes into the most popular unwanted charges, including voicemail, directory assistance, internet listings, dial around and even unwanted phone lines and all of the ways to try and prevent them. It’s just one more argument against your local phone company, but it really wouldn’t matter whether you have your toll free number through them or not, they’ll still try to slip these things by you and into your bill.

    I've searched your service for a few days. After opening my email this morning, your program sent us a great 888. 888-686-6843, which is 888-68-ONTFG. After reading your hints we also matched our web address www.ONTFG.com to our new phone number. We have ease of mind knowing you will assist us with any ongoing issue if one should arise. Keep up the good work. I will refer your company to our network of associates.

    Bill I cannot thank you enough! I did actually base my evaluation in most part on their website presentation simply because it all made sense whereas a lot of other sites I had been researching resulted in endless reading of information that sometimes was a little convoluted and confusing.I do sincerely thank you for educating me a little more in this industry and for all of your invaluable advice, you have been very professional and kind to take time out of what I'm sure is also a very busy schedule to help me out with sharing your knowledge and experience.

    Regards,

    Bill, I can't believe how easy it was to order and have the toll free number that I wanted. that when I ordered it online and after I was done which probably took all of 5 minutes and the number was I am still in shockmine and active I immediately called that number and it worked I still can't believe so simple and efficient you have set- up your company and I really appreciated the quick response and the ability to talk to someone.

    The 23 page booklet that you get is unbelievable. Its no wonder you are the King of this industry. I would recommend your comapny and service to anyone. I have been in business for over 20 years and there aren't many businesses that have such great service like yours. It has been a pleasure. I am still in a need of a couple more 800's numbers and I will wait until you have them.


    Sincerely

    I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to explain how "everything works" in this telco industry. As i told you, I wasted a lot of time searching manually for my number before finding you guys and had no clue which service provider to go with also. Much appreciated....

    Now i think i've got pretty much the perfect "Vanity" number for my biz and shouldn't have to worry about whether it'll be activated on time for my Ad campaign roll out...

    Infact, i just got notification it's up and running - literally a minute from signing up!

    May the Force with You :)
