Activate your 1-800 number through the website

When you find a number that says “Currently Available” we can activate it for you for only a one time “search” fee of $49. You can do the activation like the searching right online. If you were referred to us by anyone and they gave you a discount or referral code, enter that before filling out the order form. We will activate the number and send you our toll free manual, which includes your Toll Free Birth Certificate™ (your proof of ownership) along with an explanation of the transfer process.

We can also help you find and get Premium 800 numbers as well as Disconnected Numbers that you can backorder to get as soon as they become available. These take more time and effort so they have a higher search fee, but they are usually better numbers and can be transferred to whatever company you want for the ongoing service.

    CALL RESTRICTED 888 PHONE NUMBER IN CANADA

    I AM UNABLE TO CALL A RESTRICTED 888 PHONE NUMBER IN CANADA

    THE PHONE NUMBER WHICH I UNABLE TO CALL

    IS THE CIC CALL CENTER : 1-888-242-2100

    IS THERE AN INTERNET SERVICE OR PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO CALL THIS NUMBER?

    FOR, EXAMPLE I AM HOPING TO FIND AN INTERNET PBX SERVICE THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO DIAL INTO THE PUBLIC SWITCH NETWORK AND MAKE THE CALL LOCALLY

    THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME?

      No, I don’t know of any way to get through other than talking someone else in Canada into calling for you.

      But I’ll leave this here in case anyone else has any suggestion for you.

        Hi Bill,

        Love, love, love your site! I have a question that I have not found an answer for, yet many of your past clients seem to be informed on. I already have a 1-800 number with a very inexpensive US carrier that I would like to port to to a cheap Canadian carrier, My current carrier will not transfer calls to Canada, and my business is now on Canadian soil. So, cheap as the US carrier is (under $5.00 a month), it doesn’t serve me at all.

        Ideally, I would like to have my 1-800 forwarded to a Skype Canada account with an answering system all in the name of economy. Do I have to have a Canadian carrier at all in order to port my number and forward the calls to Skype? And if I do…who is the least expensive Canadian company of them all?

        Any light you can shed on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

        Be well,

        Ivette

          Ivette,

          Thanks for the nice comments. This is an easy question. Yes, you can certainly point a toll free number to a Skype number. You can also use a US company to do it, although many regular carriers will require a US address, so you may have to use one of the enhanced voicemail services. They don’t really care where you’re located or require SSN’s. All you need is a credit card for some of them. Using a Skype or vonage type number through your computer is one way to get international forwarding anywhere in the world with a good internet connection.

          Bill

            Thank for the quick reply. So how do businesses get the 1-800 number to show up with the skype flags next to them on html? That’s the last piece of my puzzle. LOL

              I’m not that familiar with Skype but there must be some notification process or some profile or registration. If you find an answer to that let me know.

                I figured it out. It wasn’t them after all, it was me. When you install Skype, it scopes out phone numbers out on html and puts a call button and the country flag next to it. So, it is indicative of the fact that you can call them on Skype, not that it is a Skype number. That explains a lot. LOL

                Take care,

                Ivette

                  I’m still trying to figure out how to switch my 888 # that I bought from you from my current carrier – century tel – to my skype acct – how do I do that?

                    Thank you Bill for all your help. First you helped me distill the essence of our business, then your service found the perfect number for what we do: 888-IDEA-SOURCE.

                    Your service was outstanding with both telephone and email assistance. I've already recommended your services to a client.

                    Great web site! One of the best small business sites I've see, and I'm a web developer who's been using the web daily since the 90s...

                    Your service is great. The thing that I like the best is the fact that I can trust your company. If I felt there was an attempt to have the users simply find good numbers for you I would would be out of here. Your ethics are beyond reproach.

                    Thanks for doing what you do.

                    This is the second time that I've used your service and I must say that it was just as easy the day I reserved our vanity number as it was three years ago when I did it. Of course I must mention the savings involved with using your service as opposed to our phone company. They wanted $300 dollars to take possession of an availble number where your service only cost $49.95 so you saved us $250. You are far and away a better deal and thanks to you we got it.

                    Thanks again for all your help with this and the other number I had gotten through you.

                    Sincerely,

                    Bill, the experience working with you and your team was terrific. The tools, the education and the expertise you provided, made the acquisition of a meaningful toll free vanity number a reality for our small business. Thanks so much for your help.

                    Testimonial 1245 out of 1983

                    I spent many hours and phone calls needlessly trying to work with the Frontier network Phone cmpany trying to obtain a decent toll free number. Their method was to have me keep sending them lists of possible names or numbers I would like to try to get and then after several days they would respond and state that none of them were available. Finally in exasperation we just accepted one which we did not really care for and that was not memorable.

                    I came acrosss your site after Googling because we realized that the number we had accepted just was not going to be what we wanted. Your site came up with so many great numbers in minutes and now we feel more confident about our growth and name recognition in the future .

                    Thanks - however you do it !
