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.

      Bill Quimby is now 1 of my heros!!! I've been trying to get a vanity # for months now on my own. I had his web site bookmarked during that whole time & finally after throwing my hands up in frustration, I contacted him. Less than 12 hours later I had my number. I sure feel like a big dummy now, why didn't I do that to start with? And to top it off, he is a really nice man who is very helpful, caring & turned out to be a blessing to humanity.

      Testimonial 1739 out of 1983

      I knew there had to be a better way! I was hesitant to sign up with a toll free company because they did not include some services I wanted but the number I wanted was available through their website. Then I stumbled across another site with the services I wanted but required 3 weeks to get me my number (did not have an online search feature). I said there has to be a better way. I started searching for National Toll Free Database and found this site. I was not only able to get a toll free number but I found an even better number that I had not thought about 1-888-99ONECARE.

      This site is fabulous. The ability to generate a full report off of key words is a real value-add, and your system delivers the results so quickly! Once I figured out which key word I wanted to use the rest was easy.

      Thanks so much!
