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.

    After spending hours on the phone with AT&T, coming up with hundreds of unavailable numbers I stumbled across Bill's website. One quick phonecall later i had a list of avalailable numbers and within a matter of hours had the number i wanted ringing to my cell. No gimmicks, no fuss just good honest value for money. I wish id found him earlier I would have saved hours!

    Thanks Bill

    Testimonial 394 out of 1850

    I honestly can say your book was the most informative, easy to understand, and practical book on the subject. I devoured the entire book in a few hours. It was like going to college and learning EXACTLY the important stuff from a wise professor who genuinely wants you to see you succeed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. As a result I researched and found a great 888 toll free number that I plan to use aggressively for our specialty dental practice.

    Dear Bill,

    You run a great service and provided excellent customer service. I enjoyed, just like that, talking to you and your representatives, and getting the fastest and most efficient assistance. The process went without a hitch, including the transfer, the information you send in the form of a pdf document was thorough and very enlightening. I will DEFINITELY use your services over and over again, and refer everyone I know to use your services. It's good to know the old art of true good customer service is not lost.
    Thank you so much.

    Sincerely,
    John with 888-321-XMAS

    Testimonial 1214 out of 1850

    I have a learning/comprehension disability and I am not computer savvy. Venturing on a new business, Bill Quimby not only processed my information but he responded immediately to all of my inquiries, and there were many. He reacted always in a kind and professional manner as this makes me feel good about myself. Most importantly, I have peace of mind in choosing my toll free number as my company's logo.

    Thank you again Bill for such wonderful and trustworthy service!
