Maybe you have to Try Harder
We have a whole section about how to pursue a number that’s already “In Use” (regarless of whether you can get through dialing the number). I’ll explain a general overview here but you’ll definitely want to go to the Consulting section for more information about how to dig deeper.
The first thing you need to know about “Digging Deeper” is that it’s harder than you realize. The second thing is that before you even start, you need to know your alternatives and have a backup, at least reserved if not active and ready to go. Third, remove any number that say Resporg Locked from your list. It’s also very smart to make a wish list of all your dream numbers, not just one. Then you can eliminate the impossible numbers more easily.
Then when you have read the Consulting Section thoroughly, dial all of the versions of your dream number. If a number is answered, the only one you can get it from is the owner. Talk to them and see if there’s any possibility, what they do, how they advertise the number, and their website (usually my first question).Â
Next you’ll want to pursue the numbers that aren’t going through to an active customer. Those are usually easier to get in many ways since you probably don’t have to get someone to change all of their advertising and “give up” as much. But the hard part with these is often tracking down and getting through to someone that can release it for you.
Use the secure version of our lookup tool to show you the phone company responsible for the number. You’ll usually have to be a little clever to get them to give out much customer information though, so review the Consulting Section for that as well as how to approach a customer.
