800# to an 800#?

Can I have one 800 number ring to another 800 number?

No you can’t point a toll free number to another toll free number. It’s kind of like dividing by zero. You can point it to the same local number the other toll free number points to, or you can transfer it to the same service that the other number is with and they can point it to the same place (even if they don’t give you a local number). This sometimes comes up in connection to toll free voicemail services, or a call center type service that only issued you a toll free number without a local number.

    Actually, you can point a toll free to a toll free with the carrier. The problem comes in losing the data between the two toll free numbers. If you are trying to track your calls or terminate at a call center, they won’t have any statistics available. We’ve had a company do this for us before.

      No, you can’t point a toll free number DIRECTLY to another toll free number, to be more exact. The only way it’s possible is to either forward a toll free number to a local number that you forward to the second toll free number or to use an enhanced voicemail service which essentially points the toll free number to a voicemail platform which then forwards the calls out to the second toll free number.

      Enhanced voicemail services can forward to a toll free number because it’s not actually pointing the toll free number directly to the second toll free number. Either way it has to go through an intermediary step because you can’t point a toll free number directly to another toll free number. The caller id information can be lost in this process because the caller id of the intermediary number may be sent to the secondary TF number.

        How about this… If my toll-free # rings to my local #, can I use my local #’s call-forwarding to receive ALL calls (local and toll-free) on another phone (cell, etc.) when I’m away? I’m guessing, yes, but please let me know. Thanks.

          Yes, any features that work on the local calls will work on the toll free calls. (ie. call forwarding, voicemail, roll overs, caller id etc)

            I bought a good 800 number from Bill. I got so happy with the service I bought another hundred. I am totally pleased with the service and I am glad I moved quickly since the inventory is getting exhausted by the minute.

            I received my toll free birth cert and other info, thanks. It was a pleasure to deal with a real person and company that makes recommendations based on need not how much money does the customer have in their pocket. I will definitely refer you.

            BTW, if you have any other toll free numbers that will also be a benefit let me know I'll buy them. Can never have too many numbers.

            Thanks,

            I love your site. It is so easy to find a number and quick too! There is nothing else out there on the market like it.

            Before finding [your site] I was on the AT & T website for an entire day and could not find a single number. Within an hour of finding this site...I found hundreds of numbers to choose from!

            I have a learning/comprehension disability and I am not computer savvy. Venturing on a new business, Bill Quimby not only processed my information but he responded immediately to all of my inquiries, and there were many. He reacted always in a kind and professional manner as this makes me feel good about myself. Most importantly, I have peace of mind in choosing my toll free number as my company's logo.

            Thank you again Bill for such wonderful and trustworthy service!

            Tollfreenumbers.com is the greatest find. Just when I thought I was not going to be able to find a toll free number without either paying to much for each call or not being able to get a nice easy to remember number I found tollfreenumbers.com It seemed to be to good to be true. I found my number and sent in my request and in less than an hour I had a functioning toll free number. They also have some great deals with providers to get you permanent service when the limited service they off runs out. I have already sent one of my friends to them and I am sure many more will follow. static 800 productions

            Bill Quimby and his organization made our acquisition of a toll free number very easy indeed. I would have no hesitation reccomending his company to anyone looking to set up a toll free number.
