What’s different about Canadian Numbers?

The only difference is that we can’t provide the free temporary service for customers in Canada. There really isn’t any other major difference. The default coverage area for most toll free numbers in the US is usually the 48 states, so Canadians can’t just dial numbers to see if they’re actively used. On the other hand many Canadian 800 numbers aren’t accessible from the US either. That’s why we label the Canadian Resporgs in the Instant 800 Lookup.

    Need your insight on making this number work in europe, north america, central america, south america, and maybe africa. I also would like to have some calls sent to other phone numbers, maybe.

    Thank You,
    Bob

      Bob,

      Toll free numbers are only accessible within the North American Numbering Plan, which is basically the US, Canada, and a few small territories. Our toll free numbers aren’t able to be reached from anywhere that you need to dial a country code to reach the US. There are some dial around codes that you can use for certain countries to pay for the cost to get a call to the US and still access a toll free number here. But there is no universal solution for that.

      You can also forward our toll free calls basically anywhere in the world too. It’s not even that much money to forward calls to many modern countries around the world. But it doesn’t sound like that is necessarily what you are thinking of. In terms of routing calls to different numbers you can only do that enhanced voicemail services such as Telcan.net’s Callture service. They are also good for international forwarding too.

      Regular toll free service just forwards the calls to a specific number, but the enhanced voicemail services send the calls to a voicemail system that can control and route calls much more than regular toll free service. I hope that helps.

        Is it possible to split a number between the US and Canada? For example, a local painting company owns an 800 number in Texas but does not deal nationally let alone internationally; Is it possible to open this number up for a Canadian business if the incoming calls originate from Canadian area codes?

          Gordon,

          There will only be one owner, but it might be possible to work out something with that company to route calls from another area to a different number. That doesn’t mean it’s likely because it’s certainly not very likely or easy to work that type of situation out or to make it last. It’s not possible to split it completely but it’s not impossible to come up with a sharing arrangement. We don’t work that out because it’s harder than most customers would think. But it’s not impossible.

          Bill

            I'm an attorney and I help people get out of debt, primarily with bankruptcies or other services and we're expanding into a new spanish speaking market. You helped me get the 800-FILE-AWAY phone number which matches our domain name. It's going to make some great advertising. Also recently I hired a couple of Spanish speaking assistants and you were able to get me 877 4 DEUDAS and 877 9 DEUDAS, which means Debts in Spanish. My assistants were very excited.

            When I checked your website I found that there were only two permutations of DEUDAS left. You got them both for me instantly. My printer had the cards ready in two days and the advertising will go out in less than a week. I cannot tell you what a boon your service was for my me and my family. File away your debt with 800 File away and David Nelson What a blessing to the folks whom I will be able to help now in either language. Llama me, puedo ayudarte, mis numeros son, marque al 877 4 DEUDAS.

            Sincerely,

            Not only is the search process made easy on TollFreeNumbers.com, it's the most comprehensive one out there as well, finding numbers that other sites do not even show as available. I could not get the number for my new boxing gym in Atlanta without TollFreeNumbers.com. I want to thank Bill Quimby as he was there to personally take my call; the insight Bill had provided helped me choose the best number for my business.

            As soon as the "Your new toll free # has been Activated!" message appeared, I called MY NEW 888# that I linked to my cell phone and I heard my outgoing voicemail message ! It's gotta be FM !

            I spoke with Bill once on the phone and he also promptly responded to my e-mail queries. Together with all the great information on the website, I couldn't be more satisfied! Even got real close to the number I was after.

            Great service,

            I wanted to thank you for all of your help yesterday. I just read your E-Book and it wasn't technically available but I actually was able to get the 1-800 EZ-AGENT phone number, thanks to your help. You definitely know your stuff and this is an incredible asset to my small business. You and your site are absolutely awesome!

            Its not often that I run across a company that delivers EVERYTHING it promises. Bill Quimby and his company www.TollFreeNumbers.com gave even more. In addition to having me up and running in a matter of minutes, Bill also spoke to me personally, and included additional cost saving ideas for using my 800 number. They certainly have earned my business and I wholeheartedly recommend this service to everyone.

            Bill at TOLLFREENUMBERS.COM was extremely helpful in getting us set up initially with a numerical toll free number, but also in explaining who a specific descriptive toll free number could be so much more beneficial for our marketing drives. He really knows this business and made acquiring our toll free numbers very painless!
