What numbers to Pursue

One of the most important things you need to figure out in the process is the understanding of what numbers NOT to pursue.  This can be hard advice to follow, but it’s definitely harder to ignore it and waste all your time and effort pursuing a number or numbers that aren’t possible.

The simplest rule to give you is NOT to pursue numbers that are Reporg Locked.  Those numbers are “locked” for a reason.  I realize that eliminates about 2.5 million of the best numbers, but it’s only about 10%.  And it’s hard enough to pursue numbers that you do have a slight chance with, pursuing ones you don’t have any chance with just isn’t worth it.  So don’t waste your time on the ones that are “Locked”.Listen to Yoda

I also feel a bit like Yoda, when I say this next line, and it’s corny but it has to be mentioned.  And that is to use your power wisely.  I’m sharing a lot of very advanced tips and tricks here and you need to understand that these are to be used sparingly and only in the right situation.

The toll free word is not very clear and organized.  A lot of numbers get stranded and abandoned in the system.  And it’s in everyone’s best interest to have a way to find and recycle the trees that people need when they’re lost in the woods.  But like any tool or capability, there is a right and a wrong way to use it.  Do NOT go climbing or cutting down live trees, so to speak, of an occasional dead one in the woods.  I know you may have to be persistent and fight your way through bureaucracy but please don’t ever give any phone company representative a hard time because it will usually come back to bite you.

        Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your hard work and great customer service.

        The information and tips on your site are priceless and I love the the Vanity Number Lookup tool. But your suggestion was still the perfect number for my site. I will definitely be back and highly recommend you to anyone even thinking of getting a toll free number.

        Thank you!!! I tried to register the same number with another company and they told me the number was not available. I got exactly what I was looking for from you.

        Thanks!!

        Although I was somewhat overwhelmed by the many organizations that offer toll-free number services, I was most impressed with the information described on tollfreenumbers.coms' website. When calling their customer service, not only were my questions politely and patiently answered, but I didn't have to go through the hassle of an annoying automatic answering sequence. This company ably, cost-effectively and immediately provided me with this service and a desirable 1-800 number. I felt secure in placing my order.

        Sometimes I spend hours just looking up different numbers on your site, Tell you what – IT’S FUN! I have already got two numbers from you, and referred your services to all of my friends and customers. I know few of them got numbers from you too. I do not expect “something? from you for my referrals, because I enjoy referring good services. I just want to say thanks for putting up this website and your services in general.
