What is a Toll Free Number?

This probably seems a little basic, but a toll free number is a telephone number that can be called at no cost to the caller, because the recipient pays for the cost of the call. Also referred to as ‘800’ numbers after the original area code, although toll free numbers today can start with the area codes, 800, 888, 877, and 866.

A toll free number is basically like a remote call forwarded number that can forward to whatever local number you want it to.  You can also change the number if forwards to (the “ring to number”) whenever you need to.  So if you’re starting a small business, you can get your own toll free number and point it to your existing home or cell phone number without any separate line or extra equipment.  You can always add a separate line or change the ring to number as your business grows.

Not having to have a separate line will usually save quite a bit more than the cost of the toll free number in just the Click here to COMMENT on thisfirst couple months, not to mention making your business look more professional and giving you the flexibility to grow and change things whenever you’re ready.

      Rajiv,

      If you want the simplest possible full overview go to http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/simplified

      In one or two sentences, we’re like the registrar for toll free numbers and instead of selling the service like a hosting company, we get you numbers that can be used with any toll free service provider. We don’t make you use the service that pats us a commission and try to keep you here by claiming ownership of the number after you’ve got it in all your advertising.
      Use the lookup tool on our website and you can order whatever number you find right online, very easily.

        Testimonial 886 out of 1983

        I could not be any happier with my experience getting a toll free number from www.tollfreenumbers.com. Your website is easy to navigate and your search programs gave me more options that any other toll free website I could find.

        I did not think it was possible to get a number so quickly. I found the number I wanted, then purchased it online, and I "instantly" got my number. It could not be any faster. You even have a way to reserve the number in case I found another number that was better.

        This is my first time starting a new business. I wanted a catchy and personalized number to advertise our business with. I prepared myself for the process of finding, purchasing and then transferring this number to be difficult, lengthy and most important, very expensive. I cannot thank you enough for the service you have created. I picked my own number, received 30 days of free service, and eventually transferred it to our call center with one simple form. Zero complications, unbelievable speed, and most importantly, I own this number for life, and the entire process cost me only $50.00!!!!!!!!!!!PCS Platinum, Platinum Collateral Services

        Thanks again,

        We searched for hours and it seemed like everything was taken. We couldn't find anything that worked for our business but you came up with some amazing "1-800" options. We love the one you got us, 1-800 TRIM KING and have had a lot of customers compliment us on it. I would recommend you to anyone!
