Thank you so much for your service. Our bookings from our on line Travel Business (Discrete Elite Travel) has increased over 50% during our first month after posting our 1-800 number. We would like to personally thank you and have reccommended that all our Chamber of Commerce member visit your site. We were really overwhelmed with all the calls during our first month. It was as easy as 1-2-3 setting up our 1-800 number. It was totally hassle-free and we really appreciated the time you took with us explaining just how easy it was to set-up our 1-800 number with the local telephone company. Your business service and customer service is outstanding. Our local business members and friends will be contacting you.
Thanks again

I can't thank you enough for your help and patience with me on the phone. You really helped guide me through what I thought was going to be a complicated event. It turned out to be so much easier than I thought it would be. Thanks again for all of your help.

Thanks to you it has been an extremely simple process in securing and setting up our new toll free number. From identifying the best number to weeding through the various service providers your information was invaluable. We are currently in the final stages of negotiating with a local phone company and expect to be 100% within the next few days! You have been great! I hope we can do business again in the near future!
Sincerely

You are great just like the site said. I am so impressed with your operation. The search for an 800 number for the launch of our new weight loss program was a total nightmare until I landed on your website Bill. I was so frustrated and put off by the huckster style and high prices I found elsewhere on the internet. Your powerful search feature helped us find the right 800 number for our program launch. We will also use the number to direct people to our website at www.sensehealth.net where they can learn that they can finally get control of their weight.
Thank you again.

You know.... your site was so simple and easy to use. It should be called toll free numbers for dummies.... lol It really was straight forward, and anyone that has a basic understanding nowadays of a ten key or computer, could use your site. The most unique part referring to your site, is the follow up email. People who haven't forgotten about old school service, such as yourself, are truelly why I will return to one site over another.
Nice touch.

As a repeat customer I must say you have been active in modifying your engagement process and streamlining the paperwork. I must say I am impressed. The entire process took under 24 hours. Your process is like a well tuned machine. I look forward to doing even more business with you in the future.

Consumers like them because they’re free to call. Advertisers like them because customers are more likely to call. Companies also like them because they are portable and they create a more national presence and they have additional capabilities in terms of reporting and routing that local numbers don’t have. Another major reason for their popularity is that they have dropped so dramatically in price and ease of use. When they were first introduced they were expensive and hard to get. But now they are so cheap and so simple to set up that even the smallest part time business or residential user, almost can’t afford not to use one.

Is it possible to get a number JUST for NY state? I found the vanity number I want but it seems to be used only in Iowa

The answer for that is yes and no. I’ll try to explain.
No, there is only one official customer of record for any toll free number. It is technically possible for the customer to make calls from one area ring to one place and calls from the other but in reality the toll free number really isn’t split. There is ultimately only one customer of record and it’s very difficult for anyone to work out a sharing arrangement with a regular customer even if they only use it in one regional area.
You also run into the same problem you face with shared use, in that you wind up putting yourself at the mercy of the other customer. If they don’t pay their bill, your service will be shut off too. And it can be hard to prove that you have any right to the number (because you really don’t) if anything changes with the original end user.
It’s also a little strange for most people to get a call from someone asking for a piece of their toll free number. You will have to get past the knee jerk reaction against it. If you do try to do it write back about your experience, especially if you do get anywhere.

Bill,
Do you know of a source where I can determine the total number of toll free minutes that are generated/year in the U.S.?
Thanks,

Gerald,
No, I’m sorry. I don’t think there would really be a valid source for that information. It would be hard to determine since they’re not done all through one company any more since they were broken up from AT&T in the early 90s. It’s kind of like asking how many page views occur in a day on the internet.
