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.

          We were very grateful for the service that you offered. Since we were in the UK and setting up a business in the US we were struggling to work out how to get the 800 number we wanted and what provider to put it with. You made the process both understandable and simple.

          Testimonial 510 out of 1983

          THANK YOU for your note and follow-up (and for holding the number I reserved!). It is not often that you see the level of honesty and transparency that you demonstrate on your site via the personal attention that you provide. Most of the time you deal with a nameless/faceless entity that may or may not return your messages. You put a personal touch on the service you provide which is refreshing. More companies could learn a lesson from you.

          Thanks again for your help in furthering my business!

          Testimonial 74 out of 1983

          We set up computer networks for small to mid-sized businesses. A potential new client has a mostly Macintosh environment. They called us and we went out to do an evaluation of their network. We then sent them a bid. I know they were getting bids from other companies, and I felt we were maybe not in
          the running for their business (we primarily work with Microsoft networks but also do Macintosh based networks). The company they said they may go with was an all Macintosh service company. I told them to give me a call at 1-800-MACINTOSH when they decide either way. She seemed very surprised that that was our number. That was yesterday, today she called and wants to work with us!!!!! I don't know if the number gave us some credibility, but it
          sure didn't hurt.
