Educated consumers are our best customers

There is a limited supply of possible toll free numbers (31.7 million possible numbers) and only about 1% of them are really good vanity numbers. We aren’t changing the availability but we are helping our customers to overcome it, by providing as much open and honest information as possible and by providing the most effective search tools to help them find good vanity numbers despite the scarcity. (See also: Why we’re the answer to 800 Scarcity)

The three most important categories of numbers in terms of finding good numbers for your business are Available #s, Disconnected #s and Premium #s. There is a section for each of them along with a button on the top of the page (Activations, Backorders, Premium #s) that describes these numbers and how to get them.

There are actually more than a dozen different types of numbers that we track or manage in order to provide a more complete lookup system and help customers find the best possible numbers. This section is designed to explain more thoroughly all of the different types of numbers.

Other phone companies simply say available or not available (although surprisingly often they just say NOT available even when they are available). So I hope this puts thing into perspective and explains the system more without making it look too complicated. If you don’t follow all this just realize the three main types of numbers that we can get for you, Available, Disconnected, and Premium #s.

    Thanks for all your help in getting me a toll free vanity number for my business. My new number 1-877-APEXLOANS will no doubt be an asset. Your user friendly website, the speed with which you responded to every question and the 'no hassle' procedure for releasing the new number to the carrier of my choice is a testiment to your business model. Thanks again!

    I've always gotten prompt, honest, concientious service from Bill Quimby. Who could ask for anything more?I have been dealing with Bill's company for several years, and he and his staff have always been helpful, even when they knew I wasn't buying any product at the time.

    I need say People using just the look up tool are really missing out!
    I tried the 800 watch using key words. WOW ! I put five key words in and it found more then one hundred possible numbers! It would have taken hours to find them one at a time.

    Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your hard work and great customer service.

    The information and tips on your site are priceless and I love the the Vanity Number Lookup tool. But your suggestion was still the perfect number for my site. I will definitely be back and highly recommend you to anyone even thinking of getting a toll free number.

    As a small business just starting out, my experience with your company has been truly exceptional! I was stunned to discover that you were able to get the vanity number of my choice. You not only IMMEDIATELY located and reserved that toll-free number for my company, but activated it INSTANTLY. You also went above and beyond the call of duty in customer service--including taking a phone call from me and answering endless questions late on a Friday night. That was very impressive! I am simply thrilled that I bumped into your website when I did. I honestly couldn't be more satisfied. Thank you so much for your help in setting up 877-MY-LASSO!

    Sincerely,
