Available #s can be ordered online

Any number that says “Currently Available” when you use the Instant 800 Lookup can be activated right away for a one time fee of only $49.  There will be a link next to “Currently Available”, for Immediate Activation which will lead you into the process to activate the number.  No mater what message you hear when dialing a number, you can’t activate it with the regular activation unless it says “Currently Available” with the look up tool or unless you specifically reserved it here (which requires filling out the reservation form or emailing us). 

Messages you hear on the phone can be deceiving and there are a lot of reasons why an 800 number may be going to a disconnect message or a phone company intercept message of some kind, even when the number is technically active.  There is more information on digging deeper for numbers that go to those types of messages in the Consulting section.

When a number is “Currently Available” it’ll also give you a link for a Free 15 day Reservation next to the link for Immediate Activation.  Reservations simply hold onto a number for you so you can continue looking or get the approval or credit card information if necessary.  Reservations aren’t canceled automatically after 15 days.  They expire anywhere between 15 and 45 days depending on how much space we have left.  Reservations can’t be transferred but once it’s activated you can transfer it anywhere and to any phone company you want.  See Activations Section for more information or to activate or reserve a number.

    Hi Bill,

    So far, I’ve picked two of the numbers that you’ve listed as available and your site now says they are recently taken. I suspect they were ‘plucked’ by someone that I may have spoken with regarding an 800 vanity number.

    How do I unpluck them and tell if they are really available? When I click on your ‘find out more’ page it says that the page has changed and that it’s no longer available?

    Please let me know if this is something that you handle? There are actually three numbers that I’d like to own, all of which were listed on that available list!

    Thanks so much!

    Jody

      Hi Jody,

      The email results are based on an indexed database similar to a search engine and they may have changed since the beginning of the month. In order to see the live query you click on the numbers in the email. That has been the way the system works for three years.

      They’re not getting “plucked” because of anything you do. I actually have a feeling that you might have been trying for numbers in the top five at the top of the email. Those are in disconnect, but we put them at the top to have unique content to try and get past the spam filters.

      The system isn’t perfect but it is miles ahead of anything else on any other website. And it is certainly more than fair, and it’s designed to empower the end customer. There are 5000+ queries per day (and growing) with the Instant 800 Lookup and nobody is watching it and grabbing the numbers you put in.

      You can send me the numbers and I’ll look them up to confirm it for you. I do want to help you get the best possible number!

      .Bill Quimby.

        I am interested in buying a toll-free number; but I want to know if I can move it to my current telephone service, or am I locked in with your company.

          David,

          Of course you can transfer it. In fact you really have to transfer it. We’re NOT selling the ongoing service. We give you proof of ownership, temporary service to get it started and then help you transfer it to any company you want to use it with and even better you’re guaranteed to be able to transfer it away if and when you have to. As long as you pay the bill they can’t hold you hostage and keep you there either.

          Bill

            The detail about the numbers that we simply could not find anywhere else is amazing. Add to that, the ease of navigation and our questions were answered quickly and expertly. When it came time to transfer to another carrier, again the information and support from TollFreeNumbers.com was outstanding – the necessary forms were on hand and the directions were clear and concise. We could not ask for more and we would HIGHLY recommend pulse power nowTollFreeNumbers.com to anyone looking for an 800#.

            The communication and service your company has provided has been exceptional. You made this "unfamiliar" process quite simple, were very patient, and held my hand from beginning to end. I got the number I wanted, and you had the service up and running much faster than I could have imagined. It was a pleasure doing business with you. You have a very happy customer here.

            Hopefully our site will be live within about a week, and as soon as it is, I'll send you the link to it.

            Thank you for your good work.

            Thanks for the rapid and in-depth response. I am a fairly 'reputed' customer service pro and I am qualified to award you two thumbs up for great service and also think that your focused business strategy is brilliant. It must have taken very strong will to stand up to advisers telling you why you should diversify into telecom solutions as a natural extension. I personally like the fact that you do 'very little', but what you do, you do brilliantly well. Love your website too.

            Thanks,
            Rakesh

            How did you do? You did an awesome job! Not only were you courteous and professional, but you aided me in the finding the perfect number-instantly. I will definitely be using your service again. Thanks again!

            Testimonial 1465 out of 1928

            Thank you so much for your service! We spoke several years ago briefly when we registered our first phone number with you (1-877-FOOD-MINISTRY) and you were easy to reach, helpful, and very attentive to our needs. We have since registered six additional numbers, including 1-800-COMIDA-9 and several memorable 800 numerics. One time our printer made a mistake and printed our toll free number incorrectly on 10,000 DVD covers. We were able to retrieve the EXACT misprinted number from your site and have it pointed to the right number in minutes. You saved us thousands of dollars in reprints -- what a lifesaver!

            We will continue to use your service for all of our future campaigns simply because of the integrity, quality and speed of your service. Your easy-to-use website, low prices, email monitoring service and instant activation are unparalleled in the industry. Thanks again! 1-800 ministries for food

            All the best,

            Testimonial 742 out of 1928

            I found the process very easy and was pleasantly surprised to see my number working within minutes of ordering. I found the user manual with the birth certificate very helpful. It gave me the assurance that I actually owned the number out right (which I think is very important) and the manual gave some good background and understanding off the toll-free numbers business. It [the manual] was also very helpful in me selecting the right PBX provider.

            Testimonial 310 out of 1928

            Although I was somewhat overwhelmed by the many organizations that offer toll-free number services, I was most impressed with the information described on tollfreenumbers.coms' website. When calling their customer service, not only were my questions politely and patiently answered, but I didn't have to go through the hassle of an annoying automatic answering sequence. This company ably, cost-effectively and immediately provided me with this service and a desirable 1-800 number. I felt secure in placing my order.

            Bill has a great service, and his site is easy to navigate. He makes is easy and time efficient to research, find, and obtain an 800 number. I tried mine within one minute, and it worked just fine.

            Testimonial 466 out of 1928

            We wanted a "vanity" number for our business but everywhere I turned, sales reps told me that getting the number we wanted, 888-FLY-GRASS was either not available or too expensive to acquire. After I found Bill Quimby at Toll Free Numbers, we had the number we wanted in about two minutes for a price that was very reasonable. After acquiring the number Bill was helpful every step of the way when it came time to getting our new number hooked up. To me, the mark of a good business person is when they continue to offer high quality services AFTER they have gotten their money. And now we are happily up and running with 888-FLY-GRASS!
