Our PROCESS
The main purpose of our whole site is to help you find a great toll free number that will increase the response rate of all your advertising. This section explains the basic search process. It doesn’t go to deep in the specifics of our two lookup tools, the Instant 800 Lookup and the Keyword Lookup because there are seperatesections for each of those. There is also a seperate section called Consulting that explains how to dig deeper when a number says it’s not available (in use).
Regular phone companies (see Providers section for a list) do a fine job of providing the ongoing toll free service, but it’s gotten extremely hard to get even reasonable vanity numbers today. The regular phone companies aren’t much help so we’ve developed this service to help you find the best number for your business.
We activate number faster than anyone else, give you better proof of ownership than anyone else, give you free temporary service to get it started, and then help transfer the number to any carrier or service you want for the ongoing service. But it all starts wth the Search Process which is our main focus, wich is why our one time fee is technically a “Search Fee”.
We’re kind of like the GoDaddy of the toll free world. We do all of this for just a one time search fee of $49 for regular activations. We’ve got a lot of information and great tools all designed to help you find a more memorable number that’ll increase the response rate for all of your advertising.

Hi Coleman,
If you’re limiting yourself to ‘800’ only, that means you have three options. We can get you Radom ‘800’ numbers. You’ll find them on the second Alternatives box in the search results and these only cost $49.
We get you Premium numbers and they cost from $99 to $999. There are usually 8 premium numbers in the Alternatives box too, and you can use the Instant 800 Lookup to find them directly too.
The third way we can get you ‘800’ numbers is by backordering them if they’re in Disconnect. Unfortunately numbers in disconnect take more time and they’re not guaranteed ahead of time. You’ll find those with the Instant 800 Lookup.
You won’t find ‘800’ numbers in the spare pool, not because we’re not trying, but because there just aren’t any. There actually haven’t been any for years. They get taken within seconds of coming out of disconnect. We have to work quite hard to get the three different kinds of numbers shown above. Regular phone companies really don’t have any “800? numbers left, and we might not able to get the perfect “800? number you wanted but at least we can get you a good variety of “800? numbers.
The Numbers section (http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/numbers/) explains the different types of numbers more thoroughly. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with anything else.

Hi:
Do you do consultations for coming up with different vanity numbers or would
I need to search on my own through the website?
Sincerely,
Melissa

Melissa,
All of the best tools are on the website. I do answer questions and help people, and often show them how to use the tools. I want to help people but I also want them to be able to use the tools themselves because that’ll actually empower them and help people more. If I do too much for people then they think they have to rely on us and our sometimes limited availability in order to get a good number.
But if you have a question feel free to call, email or post any question. I don’t do the high end consultations that I did for big clients years ago. See: 800 Consulting I used to be a match maker and have developed tools and databases that has evolved into the Match.com of the phone number business.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with anything else.
Bill
