We have Two Lookup Tools

The first thing to explain about the search process is that there are TWO main look up tools on our site, at TollFreeNumbers.com. The first one many people tend to start with on their first visit is the Instant 800 Lookup which checks specific numbers live into the database. It’s on the top of almost every page. If it says a number is “Currently Available” that means it’s really available at that moment. For more information and the details about the Instant 800 Lookup see the #3 button on the keypad.

The other lookup tool is the Keyword Lookup which is on the left side of most pages. It’s more like a search engine that takes your keywords and emails you a huge list of possible numbers for almost any words or phrases. This is the one most returning visitors use because it’s so much easier to let the computer do all of the work and just send you a list of possibilities. There’s a whole section of our site with more information about the Keyword Lookup. It’s #9 on the keypad.

      David,

      That’s a simple request but impossibly enormous to do. The list would be over 7 million at any given time. If I sent it to you your email would probably blow up. And even if it didn’t blow up all you could do is run searches against a database like that. If I printed 500 numbers per page that would take 14,000 pages to print, or almost a case and a half of paper with fine print and multiple columns per page.

      Even if you had it right on your computer you probably couldn’t do searches as quickly or easily as our look up tool does exactly that and a little more. We provide the tools to find numbers. Giving you a list that would be out of date by the time you downloaded it really wouldn’t help you at all.

      I’ve even gone so far as to send people a list of a couple hundred numbers coming that actually spell things to prove that even a short list of numbers that spell valuable terms is still almost impossible for people to find the best numbers, let alone having millions of numbers most of which don’t spell much of anything. Even a computer honestly has difficulty crunching that.

        Mr. Quimby,

        I’m extremely impressed with your service and have been sharing your website with many of my fellow associates. I am too the point of needing to secure a toll free number myself.

        I have developed a vanity number which I believe will work for my business, even though it is not my first choice. When I call the number, I receive a recorded message it has been disconnected; yet, when I do a search on your website for the number, it informs me the number has been in use with one of the big phone companies since 2005.

        How do I go about securing the number through you, and what would the total charge be? I’m sure the information on how to go about it is somewhere within your website, but to be honest I just don’t have the time to be reading through the wealth of information contained on your site. I felt a quick email would be more effective, especially after reading the glowing testimonials on your site.

          Lee,

          There are lots of reasons why a number may be going to a disconnect message, but not be in disconnect in the national database, just like there are a lot of reasons why a domain name may not be going to a webpage but may not be available or even pending in the domain name system.

          In terms of what the charges are, we’re not bounty hunters so unfortunately we really can’t go get you things that aren’t available or just wave our magic wand to make them become available. Another way to say it is that We’re like Match.com and if the person you want isn’t available with us, we can’t go try to recruit them for you, (like your mother might).

          We have a lot of information and I try to make it easy to search or browse. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with anything else.

          Bill

            The service you provided was impeccable and as advertised (in other words GREAT !) I made a mistake when ordering my vanity number and gave the wrong digits to spell what I wanted- well of course the wrong number (MY FAULT) was activated but when I called Rita and explained she corrected the error, shut down the wrong number and had the correct one up and running a 2 hours AT NO EXTRA CHARGE !! what can I say but THANKS

            Feel free to use my testimonial on your web site and any prospective client can call me for a GREAT REFERENCE of your valuable services.

            I can't believe that it Activates Instantly! What a surprise. There is no way that anyone else is doing that.

            Your service and personal attention to detail make dealing with you company a absolute pleasure. The systems you've created make the process seemless. As you can imagine running several companies is a eight day a week job. Understanding "Time and Efforts" vs "cost" is critical element to the successful operation of any company. Thank you for keeping it simple.

            If you use an enhanced voicemail service or any system for all your calls that also detects fax tones, but you don't need the fax detection you should consider turning that feature off, if possible. Background noise or things can sometimes make the fax dection system think a regular voice call is a fax call. It is pain to the caller the first time, but if they hang up and call bck again, and the same background voice triggers the fax tones again, they're probably going to give up and may never call you.


            If you need the fax detection, that's fine. But many people have seperate fax lines so they really don't need the detection system which could malfunction. This is just a very small tip, but it might be helpful!

            Dear Bill,

            You run a great service and provided excellent customer service. I enjoyed, just like that, talking to you and your representatives, and getting the fastest and most efficient assistance. The process went without a hitch, including the transfer, the information you send in the form of a pdf document was thorough and very enlightening. I will DEFINITELY use your services over and over again, and refer everyone I know to use your services. It's good to know the old art of true good customer service is not lost.
            Thank you so much.

            Sincerely,
            John with 888-321-XMAS

            I want to thank you and your staff for the outstanding service you provide through your website. The 800 number search is amazing and enabled us to find the perfect toll free number for our business, 1-888-DADS-BOURBON. I couldn't believe how fast the activation was.

            Literally within seconds of completing my order, I called the number and it worked! I was so excited, I immediately updated our website and business stationary with the new number.90 Proof Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey chocolate and nuts I know having this number will have a profound impact on the growth of our business.

            Thanks again for everything,
