Rescuing Numbers

Cutting In Line, basically refers to numbers that are in the aging process before coming out of disconnect.  They are good numbers to go after because the owners if there were any recently, clearly have little or no need for them.  They are also easier to find than numbers that are technically active but aren’t used any more. Cutting In Line only refers to numbers that are in the aging process since there’s no place to line up for numbers that aren’t in the aging process.

Rescuing or Recycling a number is when you reactivate a number has been stranded or lost in the phone company cracks.  You can track it down and get it reassigned either from the old customer or by the phone company.  It’s generally easier for a customer to go through the old customer but you may sometimes be able to get a number directly from the old phone company if they really don’t have any customer information left for it.

You can use both the same paperwork and the same customer approach, for an 800 Rescue as you would if you were Cutting In Line.  The fee to process that is the same.  The only exception is that if the number was actually your number.  Sometimes issues may come up in which you wind up having to rescue your own number.  We do that for half of the price of a regular Rescue or Cutting In Line because we don’t want to be making money off of other people’s mistakes.

    If I know a guy who had a Vanity 877 number that I wanted, who by the way just told me that he “let it go?…but it still shows that it has been “in use since ‘04?, does that mean that he may probably still be able to get it back? He said he would sign it over to me.

    What should I do next…I don’t want to loose this opportunity?

      Yes, that would indicate that the last change to the resporg record was in 04. If it had been disconnected it certainly wouldn’t say that. You could probably call his phone company and confirm that. Ask them about transferring within the same phone company. If you get the same answer twice and you feel confident, then use them. If they won’t help you with the paperwork we can. It’s essentially the same as cutting in line and as long as he signs off on it, regardless of what the phone company he’s with says. It helps if you have a bill copy but that isn’t required.

          Bill Quimby and tollfreenumbers.com have been very helpful to us in understanding how toll free numbers work and have given us sound advice. With Bill’s help, we learned who the customer of record is for a prime toll free number that fits our business perfectly. Soon our toll free number will match our domain name. I recommend tollfreenumbers.com to anyone who wants straight facts, sound advice, and great customer service.

          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 !

          I wanted to thank you for taking care of getting our toll free number up and running. You commitment to quality service showed immediately. I had made a mistake in the number that I selected and paid for; after realizing it I called you and you were able to cancel the order and allow me to order the correct number.

          Thanks again for all your help and kindness.

          Testimonial 1963 out of 1964

          As a small business owner who strives to provide exceptional service to others - and is consistently disappointed in the customer service he receives - I was relieved to find Bill and tollfreenumbers.com.

          Going into the process, I knew very little about toll free numbers and I was completely unaware that had I chosen another provider I would have likely only been “renting” instead of “owning” my 800 number. Bill’s website is easy to use, he provides all of the necessary information to obtain and use the best number for you - and most important to me - Bill delivers exactly what he promises, and delivers when he promises.

          In Chicago, we have over 1 million Polish speaking residents (second only to Warsaw). In the Polish community the word for Attorney is “Adwokat”. Through the website tollfreenumbers.com, I found what I think is very best marketing tool for potential Polish-speaking clients “1-800-ADWOKAT”.

          I simply could not think of an easier and more memorable telephone number for my client base and I cannot think of a better way to get that number than through Bill. Thanks and kudos to Bill, Rita and everyone at tollfreenumbers.com.Matt Belcher, Chicago IL lawyer

          I'm AMAZED at how easy you made the process of getting a toll free number!
          With absolutely no background with this type of thing, our animal hospital had a toll free number up and running in minutes for less than $50.

          IT'S SO EASY, EVEN A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT!

          In my industry, people either get it or forget it. The phone number and website have to be pretty simple to remember or nobody will pick up the phone to call you after watching your 30 second commercial. I spent hours looking at all manner of websites to find my 800 number only to get tricked into outlandish fees or contracts and then i stumbled upon this site and things just clicked.

          Within minutes I had my 800 number and so many other good number choices. It took more time for me to make up my mind on which good number to use than it took to actually start using the number. 800 numbers for alarm systems, monitoring and audio equipmentOnce the number was chosen, I tested the number and it rang my cell phone within minutes of selecting it! Was the service worth it? There really is no other choice for quick selection, variety of choices, professionalism, and value. Thanks Bill!
