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 Giving you a list that would be out of date by the time you downloaded it really wouldn’t help you at all.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

            Really amazing! You answered the phone as your web site said you would and explained everything in a clear and concise manner. You delivered as promised and in a matter of minutes I was up and running with my own personal toll free number! I dialed the # seconds after paying for it and it worked perfectly.

            Bill, Thank you very much!

            I had virtually given up on finding a memorable vanity number until I found your site. Within a few minutes, using your search engine and the handy recommendations you provide I found the perfect number. I am thrilled about your service and wish I could recommend it to everyone looking for a meaningful vanity number. Thanks Bill!

            Testimonial 1359 out of 1701

            Wow! I was blown away by how smoothly and instantaneously my personalized toll-free number was made operational, literally within minutes. Of course you know that, but as a Internet based prospect who simply found your site TollFreeNumbers.com with an Internet Search, and then read most of your online materials, waited, and finally reached the decision to act, only after your service prompted me several time via e-mail touches, I finally overcame my hesitation and the unknown of what to expect.

            Well it didn't take but a few minutes to realize that the whole task was accomplished (Done) in a few minutes. Your personal phone call a few days later was another nice touch. I greatly appreciate your very informative website, the superior process, and the personal service I received. I am a believer, and will be recommending and referring friends and associates to you.

            Testimonial 885 out of 1701

            Bill, I have been in the Call Center business for 22 plus years,
            Particularly in the Direct Response side. Many of my clients over the
            years, consider using Vanity numbers during certain marketing campaigns like
            print and radio. Others have tried to ascertain vanity numbers and go through various quagmires and run into small print surprises and dubious conditions, like not really owning the vanity number. Clients also face challenges in RespOrging the TFN to their carriers. Thus, frankly I was very skeptical,
            when my client eSafecards was purchasing a vanity number from you. I worked with Rita, and the vanity number was RespOrged in one day. That was
            amazing.
