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!

        This is only my second week on the job and I have never ordered toll free numbers before. I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as I went to your site, I was amazed at how easy I was able to navigate through it. I was able to find the numbers I needed and they were ordered that day. My boss was very pleased. Sprint Master Agent wireless distributor

        Thank you for making my job a breeze. I will definitely be ordering from your site in the future.
