Alternatives

One of the most important parts of the lookup is the Alternatives section.  It’s important because the exact match of what you’re looking for isn’t usually available.  Like the Keyword Search results, the numbers in the Alternatives box, were either in disconnect or available in the monthly database from the first of the month.

When you click on any of the alternatives it launches a new search in the Instant 800 Lookup for that term and gives you the live results and the options to activate or backorder them depending on the status.  They usually have more than 7 digits too.  That’s probably kind of obvious since most queries have 7 or more digits to start with, so in order to come up with other options you have to put something in front of your query.  For even more alternatives be sure to use our Keyword Lookup that checks thousands of numbers for most queries and emails you a thorough list of options.

        Testimonial 1394 out of 1701

        I was looking for an 800 number to add to my nationwide investigation firm, specifically for my cell phone. I went on Bills site months ago and every month received a very informative email about what is available. Unfortunately everything close to what I wanted was and has been locked up for a long time.

        Recently a decent size pool of 800#s had become available, I decided to take my chances as the "800" part of the number was the most important part.

        I clicked on the purchase now and Bill and his staff could not have made this any easier. By that afternoon the number was working. I did make the mistake of not immediately forwarding the number to my cell, so a day or so later, I sent an email asking to reroute the number and it was done within hours.innerfax inc. insurance investigations

        Excellent price, excellent service. My clients can now reach me on my cell phone, Toll Free, from anywhere. I could not be happier with this experience.

        Thanks a million!

        Today, May 15th, my toll free number is working for the first time since Jan this year. I endured the worst experience imaginable when I bought my number from a number broker. I had paid for it and it was shut off and they jerked me all around. Let me just say thank you for intervening in the situatation with such a professional approach that your arrangements finally paid off by getting my number turned back on. Again, many thanks - I wish I would have gone through you...

        I had no idea how this industry worked.
        Bill helped me get a great number for my corporate catering business in ways that a small business owner like myself, really do appreciate. This site is fantastic and informative, and I am very very pleased with the ongoing personable assistance Bill provided me with.

        Thank you for helping me find a great number! The process was easy and your Instant 800 Lookup feature was very helpful. Once I found a number and purchased it you and your staff provided the necessary information to transfer it over to my carrier. Not to mention your follow up has been terrific.
