What to look for when dialing the number

The best numbers to research and dig deeper into are usually the numbers that don’t go through to any active customer because it’s easier to get someone to give up a number that’s not in use than to get them to give up a number they’re actively using (or advertising). Ironically the ones that are easy to get through on are the harder ones to get and the ones that are harder to get through to the end user are really the best ones to pursue.

There are also numbers that you should avoid.  Any number that says “Resporg Locked” is held in a higher security status and is NOT going to be available.  I know those are often the best numbers and you may think that you don’t care if it’s a little tougher, if it’s not impossible you can do it.  Unfortunately those should be considered impossible and you should stop wasting any time on them and move on.

You should basically look for any numbers that don’t have any detectable end user, especially phone company intercept messages, including recordings that say a number is disconnected, not in service, invalid or unable to be completed as dialed. Also add to this group numbers that go to fast busy signals (as opposed to regular busy signals which mean the ring to number is in use or busied out). You should also avoid numbers that say they’re blocked or not available from your calling area, as those are usually in use in another part of the country or Canada.  And most of all, avoid numbers that say Resporg Locked.  

You should call at least the 800 version of all the numbers on your list and the 888 versions if you have time. I generally don’t dial all the 866 or 877 numbers unless it’s your first choice in names. Put all of the numbers on your master list that don’t go through into another list we’ll call your Possibilities List.

    I can't believe how easy you made it to get a Toll Free Number started for our Software and Website Outsourcing Company in India. I was hunting all throughout the web for a fancy Toll Free Number and I finally found 1-888-999-1881 and that was only through your service.

    Toll Free Number Transfer was Super Fast, Un-believable it just took two working days for the transfer.

    “Thanks for your prompt and efficient service. You helped us identify and track toll-free numbers that may be useful to us – and to lock one in as soon as it became available. Without your service, we certainly would have spent a lot more time and money trying to secure a good number. In our business, we always try to provide something that is ‘better, faster and cheaper’ and those qualities certainly apply to your service. Thanks again.�

    I would like to compliment you and your company on the "spectacular" service our office received from you concerning our "NEW" toll-free business telephone number.

    The transfer to our phone provider went very smooth and we are very happy with the peronalized service we received from you.

    Great site. Very helpful and complete.

    Well, with my first corporation it took me three months trying to do my 1-800 number, until I found Bill Quimby. It took precisely 3 minutes to get what I wanted. This time around, for the new corporation, his suggestions were preferable to what I was thinking, and everything was sorted out in a day. If only I had known about Him in the beginning I would have saved so much time and frustration. I would recommend his service to anyone. NICE JOB BILL!!
