You can dig a little deeper

Get a backup

The first thing to do if you’re going to dig deeper is to get a back up number because you have deadlines and this is unpredictable. You don’t even have to activate your backup.  You can just reserve it for 2 weeks while you pursue this.  You just don’t want to get most of the way through and have things hit a snag without having a backup number on reserve that we can activate for you at the last minute.

Dial the number

The next thing to do is so simple people sometimes overlook it. Just pick up the phone and dial the number. If the phone number doesn’t go through that does NOT mean it’s available, any more than if you put a domain name into your browser and it doesn’t pull up a web page that, that means the domain name is available to be registered. The only thing you can really know for sure by dialing a number/entering a domain name is that if it does go through to someone or to a website, that it’s definitely not available except from that end user. The biggest difference between domain names and toll free numbers is that there’s no “whois” type of central or open database with the owners information. The owners information is kept by each phone company and is not public or given out very readily.

TIP:  There are a couple toll free directories you can check for any customer information.  They don’t have a very high percentage of numbers listed but there is a chance it might be listed.  Take a look at GoTollFree.com, AnyWho.com as well as InternetTollFree.com

    The service that you offer is exceptional and I am very impressed thus far. For a small business owner like myself, you are a true asset.

    Thank you.

    I want to thank you for your help. It was your website that first got me thinking about vanity numbers. That initial push really led to a complete rethinking of our identity. It was your site again that gave me the tools to begin tracking down ownership of the number I wanted. When I hit a wall I admit that I had serious doubts about spending the money for your investigation service, but it came through big time. And the fact that you then encouraged me to pursue the information on my own rather than pushing your service is an indicator of the integrity you bring to your clients. I really doubted that I would be able to pry the number loose from the company that had it, but a little persistence paid off big time in the end. Our identity package is now complete and much of the thanks goes right to you.

    I can't thank you enough for your fantastic service arranging a personalized toll free number for us. I have a small start-up pursuing Federal contracts and worked with AT&T as well as Verizon business services trying to arrange a toll free number but neither company was willing to help me personalize the number, both groups gave me endless delays and extended their 5-7 business day set-up policies putting me in danger of having no corporate toll free number on my business cards as I prepared to leave for a vitally important week long conference. While in a panic I was fortunate enough to find you on the eve of my departure and, in under an hour, you had me up and running with a working toll free number that was perfectly personalized for my business and actively forwarding to my cell phone until the phone company fixes their issues installing my main line! My business cards were printed the following morning and I was at the conference on time, prepared and with a professional toll-free number.

    Your team is remarkable, your service is remarkable and I will make sure everyone I meet calls you when they need a toll free number. Thank you for being there. You saved the day when the big phone companies almost devastated my small start-up with their evil automated phone systems and their complete disregard for the jeopardy in which they placed my business.

    Bill at TOLLFREENUMBERS.COM was extremely helpful in getting us set up initially with a numerical toll free number, but also in explaining who a specific descriptive toll free number could be so much more beneficial for our marketing drives. He really knows this business and made acquiring our toll free numbers very painless!
