Thank you for the tool in your website that suggests alternate toll-free numbers. I used it to find 2 very good numbers. I also read your notes and information on your website - very educational. And then, I was surprised to see how quickly and trouble-free the activation process was. Thank you for an excellent service.

Thanks so much for simplifying the process of obtaining a vanity toll-free number 877-RX-Payday for my business. It was done all within a day. I will certainly be using you again in the future.

I am very pleased with the 1-888 numbers you found me! Really there's no other way to get matching 800 numbers and domain names. Actually I registered 1 888 Why Eggs and 1 888 Egg Fact(s) to promote a new egg information website and then went to Godaddy.com and get the matching URLs (www).
It is easy to get people to Google "Egg Fact" or "Why Eggs" and then find my url: eggfact.com or whyeggs.com. Then after finding the web site call an easy to remember matching 1 888 WHY EGGS or 1 -888 EGG FACT(S).
I could not have done this without you.

Bill was able to get the number list to me instantly. The association words were exactly what I was looking for. He also referred me to another company to get my 800 number working. It was switched on as soon as I faxed them my paperwork. I would refer Bill and the 3rd party he recommended to my friends and clients.
Thanks,

It is rare when you can transact business via the web that someone takes the time to take a personal interest in your needs. Bill is one of those rare finds (I like to think that I am another!)

I have been a member of your email lists for some time now. I have very specific needs when it comes to 800 numbers. I read all your emails with interest and the amount of possible combinations of numbers you present is staggering!
I have had the number 866 Skytowing for some time now. Imagine my surprise when you notified me that 888 Skytowing had come available! Of course I snapped it up immediately!
Thanks for your hard work and the quality of service you bring to the internet and to the 800 number markets. Many of us could not have procured our toll free numbers had it not been for your website. It was money well spent and you can count on my continued support.

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.
