All possible 1-800 number status

Activation process for Available numbers We not only help you find available numbers better than anyone else, but we also activate them faster than anyone else, give you better documentation and then help transfer them faster too, all for just a one time fee of just $49. About 90% of the numbers we get for customers come directly from the Available number pool!

Backorder a number in the disconnect aging process These are numbers that have been disconnected and are in the aging process before getting returned to the available pool. You can “Backorder” numbers in Disconnect and we will try to get them for you in that first second when they come out of disconnect.

Premium easy to remember nice 1-800 numbers available These are better numeric easy to dial numbers often with repetitive digits, patterns, 00s or 000s. We have collected a variety of “good” numbers that we’ve broken down into four categories which are immediately available.

Random numbers - Most regular phone companies don’t have and can’t get you any “800″ numbers at all any more. We have developed a supply and some sources of random “800″ numbers. These are $79 each since ‘800′ numbers are almost impossible to get in the normal process any more.

Active numbers - This is by far the biggest group of numbers which are obviously already “in use” and of course, not available. 99.9% of all 800 numbers are Active and overall 76% of all toll free area codes are Active right now too. We really can’t get numbers for you that are already active with other carriers, but we have developed a large section of our website about this wich can be helpful, in digging deeper (see 800 Consulting).

Suspended #s and Assigned #s - These are rarely used and probably best described as numbers in limbo.

Leftovers - These are numbers that we wind up with similar to backorders. They are sometimes shown as backorder numbers or sometimes say to email us. Every phone company has leftovers, whether they realize or admit it or not. There are simply lots of cracks in the system and no easy way to clean up numbers which are essentially invisible. Other phone companies don’t have any good way to do anything about them even if they find one.

By the way, this is why I think it’s actually good for the system to show end users how to dig deeper and pursue numbrs that seem to be abandoned or lost in the cracks.

YoYo numbers - These are numbers that get disconnected and reconnected repeatedly, usually by Sprint. We label these when they are disconnected so that anyone backordering them understands that there is a high probability that they will be reconnected for the original owner before completing the aging process. <more>

3rd Party numbers - These are active numbers who’s owner asked us to pass inquiries on to them. We don’t control them and can’t promise that the owners will reply, especially if you don’t sound totally serious. We don’t charge a fee for this and we don’t list numbers from large vanity number “squatters.” They generally have their own websites which we list in the shared use list and in some cases from the Instant Lookup if they’re their own resporg. The 3rd party list is really only for the small number owner that wants to list an individual number or a couple numbers that they’ve had for use in their business and which didn’t get for the purposes of reselling.

Resporg Locked numbers - Locked numbers are active numbers that are held in a high security mode, usually because someone really wants to hold on to them or because they’re with a company that essentially locks everything. The short answer for these numbers is that they’re pretty mch impossible.

#s listed with toll free directories - We are incorporating the listings from some of the toll free directories on the internet so that we can tell you when a number is listed with one of the major directories.

International prefixes - There are 9 prefixes that are reserved for territories in the Caribbean and 22 reserved for Radio Common Carrier or the FCC.

Reserved numbers - Numbers get reserved every day, all the time. Most reservations get activated but if they don’t get activated they drop off after 45 days and sometimes we can track and get those.

    We had purchased a number from you several months ago (800-900-0759) and we are looking for a new number, not so much a vanity number, but more like a repetitive/easy to remember number. What is available in that arena?

    Thank you
    Ken

      Hi Ken,

      We have a LOT of good options for that. You have to use the Instant 800 Lookup though to find them now. There’s a section that kind of helps give you some ideas (http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/premium/). You can try 800-*00-**** or 800-900-**** to find things like your previous number. You’ll probably get a whole list of similar numbers. Regarding what to query, just use some *s and put in a query for whatever you think would be good in terms of repetitive and easy. Then look at the 2nd blue box because that shows 8 random premium numbers each query.

        Do you have any new 877 or 888 or 800 Numbers that have never been used? If so, please e-mail me these numbers.

          Hi Pat,

          I’m guessing you’re asking this because you are trying to avoid wrong numbers. Unfortunately there is no good way to do that. That’s because wrong numbers don’t just come from previous users. They come much more often from the 150 or so numbers that are just one digit away. We can sometimes tell how long it’s been since a number was active last, but we can’t search by that and even that can be deceiving, because a number can be disconnected and still be advertised or it may have been active but never advertised and had any volume of use.

          Since there’s no way to make the type of a list you’re asking for, and that still wouldn’t guarantee you anything. But what we can do is stand behind our numbers for you. If you get a number that gets a lot of wrong numbers just let us know and we’ll replace it with an equivalent number at no charge. This applies to regular activations and premium numbers too, but doesn’t apply to backordered numbers.

          I would also point out that there are several things you can do to deal with misdials too. We have a whole misdial section about misdials and how to deal with them. Many people actually look for misdial numbers. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else.

            Bill,
            you are the expert. If i could afford to get the best # for my business, which would you recommend? Is 800 better than 888? if so, why? I have gone over my budget and i think this investment makes sense.

              Eric,

              That is a simple question but a little more complicated than that. An 800 is better than an 888, which is better than an 866 or 877. But a number that spells something is much better than random digits, even random digits in an ‘800′ vs a memorable word or phrase in an 866 or 877. To get more specific than that is harder to do in broad terms like this.

              The larger you are, the more important it is to have an ‘800′ vs any other area code. The more important credibility is to your sale, and the more important it is to look like a large successful business the more important it is to have the ‘800′ versus anything else. The smaller you are, the more personal your service is, the newer your industry and business is, the less the ‘800′ area code probably is.

              Some people who have plenty of ‘800’s will act like that is the most important thing, while people who don’t have many will tell you that it’s not as important, that the words they have make them more valuable. I am probably the most rounded in terms of having 800s, as well as 888s, 877s and 866s, premium numeric numbers and repeaters, as well as vanity words etc. That’s why I don’t see things as all black or all white on this, but it’s a spectrum. And honestly, most people are somewhere in the middle. So there’s no one right answer for everyone.

              See this article on the difference between the different toll free area codes for more information.

                I was very pleased with your service. My goal was to re-vamp my company image as well as improve my marketing strategies by combining my company name, domain and toll free number into one statement. Using Bill's site, I was able to find able to find a selection of good available numbers, including one which was also available as a domain (siteexact.com). I registered this domain, as well as 1-888-siteexact.com, which allows me to advertise my name, site and number all in one shot.

                1-800 MARKETER provides a fabulous service! I loved being able to search for my own vanity number without waiting for some unknown "staff" to get back to me. The reservation system gave me time to get the logistics of having an 800 number routed through my phone service without worring about losing the number I had found and activation was unbelievably easy for this technologically-challenged entrepreneur!

                I wanted to thank you for your service. I feel like we could be friends even though we haven't met. I like the details and information you provide all along the way. I like the other websites you have (even took some photos of phones... hope it's OK with you). And of course I love the amazing tool to find numbers. That's a big help for customers like me.

                Thanks and keep up the good work.

                Testimonial 192 out of 225

                I'd like to thank you for the excellent service you and your associates provided during my vanity number acquisition. When I first found tollfreenumbers.com, I thought there was no way that huge volume of information could possibly be justified.

                Now that I have completed the purchase of vanity numbers both from you and others, I can say with confidence no source even comes close to you. The information on your site is accurate and insightful. The tools are second to none. I'm also very happy with the service provider I was able to find following your guidance.

                The perfect number for a fair price topped off with a the right service provider. Keep up the good work.

                Testimonial 66 out of 225

                I deal with my clients on the same personal, professional basis that you do, and my competition is much like yours: impersonal, unavailable, and only interested in "the initial sale". With such a huge amount of competition in helping business owners to get set up and take credit cards for payment from customers, all of the "good" numbers were already taken. Instead, I took a different tact, and tried to find a number that would not only be easy to remember, but that would proactively push them to make the call while it is fresh on their mind. 877-2-DIAL-NOW is working perfectly for me.

                Thanks for your help and one of the best web sites on the Internet!
