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.

          This is my first time starting a new business. I wanted a catchy and personalized number to advertise our business with. I prepared myself for the process of finding, purchasing and then transferring this number to be difficult, lengthy and most important, very expensive. I cannot thank you enough for the service you have created. I picked my own number, received 30 days of free service, and eventually transferred it to our call center with one simple form. Zero complications, unbelievable speed, and most importantly, I own this number for life, and the entire process cost me only $50.00!!!!!!!!!!!PCS Platinum, Platinum Collateral Services

          Wow! I was blown away by how smoothly and instantaneously my personalized toll-free number was made operational, literally within minutes. Of course you know that, but as a Internet based prospect who simply found your site TollFreeNumbers.com with an Internet Search, and then read most of your online materials, waited, and finally reached the decision to act, only after your service prompted me several time via e-mail touches, I finally overcame my hesitation and the unknown of what to expect.

          Well it didn't take but a few minutes to realize that the whole task was accomplished (Done) in a few minutes. Your personal phone call a few days later was another nice touch. I greatly appreciate your very informative website, the superior process, and the personal service I received. I am a believer, and will be recommending and referring friends and associates to you.

          The way everything is explained and the way the industry secrets and misdeeds are revealed, really made me feel confident in becoming A patron of your firm. I sincerely appreciate how up-front and honest you are about every aspect. I won't even think of using any other firm in the future. And that really simplifies things for me and my staff.

          Testimonial 1848 out of 1983

          As I'm sure others new to obtaining a toll-free number have discovered, trying to learn about the various services, plans, and providers can be overwhelming. There are pitfalls: The fine print of some contracts indicates that the 800-number you obtain through them "belongs" to--or is leased by--the service provider, and if you wish to change providers, you will have to change numbers as well. Alternatively, the service provider
          can delay your request to transfer, creating another headache. Another problem not clearly disclosed by provider sites is the higher per-minute charges for instate calls in based on intrastate tariffs in some states, in my case over .07 per minute.

          With my frustration level rising while navigating provider sites and learning about the system, I found Bill Quimby's "TollfreeNumbers.com" site and experienced immediate relief! TollfreeNumbers.com provides straightforward information about obtaining a toll-free number. More importantly, the site assists its clients with securing and registering an 800 number that belongs solely to the client, along with an informative guide to choosing a service provider. What a great public service!!!

          Thank you!!

          You're definitely the Guru of toll free numbers. When I need to research or secure a toll free number I always turn to your website Tollfreenumbers.com. Before I knew about the website my searches for toll free numbers were time consuming and tedious. As a call center, I've actually used your search ability to close deals. My customers like that I’m willing to take the extra steps to research which numbers are available as I attempt to find them a toll free number that adds sales/profits to their project. How much do I rely on tollfreenumbers.com? I can only say that I was in a state of panic recently when the site was updating information and I couldn’t conduct my search. I’ve come to rely upon Tollfreenumbers to be my partner in toll free solutions.

          Keep up the great work!
