Toll free service to a cell phone

Many phone companies don’t like to provide toll free service to a cell phone for three reasons. It costs them a little more to terminate the calls to a cell phone, they don’t get the outbound long distance which they always want to sell too, and they’re usually smaller accounts too. So most companies just say they can’t or won’t do it. It’s really not that they can’t but they just don’t want to or quite often don’t know how.

Most cell phone companies and voip companies are usually pretty ignorant about toll free service and how to process transfers, not to mention how to help you get a good number. To be fair though, I don’t know how to even use half the features on my own cell phone so I couldn’t begin to do their job. But I really focus on finding valuable vanity numbers and have gotten good numbers for tens of thousands of s over the past 12 years so I’ll be happy to help you. And the bottom line is that you can certainly point any toll free number you find with our site to any cell phone company you want.

Look in the toll free manual that we email you after you activate a number for an explanation of the process of “Picking Your Provider” and some forms. You can of course take your number to any company you want but we also try to make it as easy for you as possible to get not only the best number but the best service for your needs too.

    I really would like you to help me find a toll-free number that I could use (and like)!

    I’ve tried your “look up!” above a few times. Sometimes it sends stuff. Sometimes it doesn’t.

    How can I keep searching without bothering you until I find one. I am serious about purchasing a number (at least at the lowest rate - unless a spectacular number comes up.

    Thank you for your service. I would also like to know who does the 2.9 service with no fees! :)

      The Keyword emails often get filtered and put into your spam folder. That is probably what is happening, why you’re only getting some of them. The others are either in your spam folder or are being blocked bf they even get to you.

      You don’t need to decide what service you want before you find and activate a number. We give you information on options and try to help you with that in the Toll Free Manual you get after you activate a number. We’re also putting that information and more in the Providers section but unfortnately that isn’t done yet.

        I am VERY interested in using your services. I am a cell phone based business, run my “office” out of my home, or wherever I am for that matter. Questions: Can I receive calls to my cell phone that are live or are they only forwarded as messages? Can I have multiple cell phones be forwarded with LIVE calls?

          Hi Jason!

          You can certainly forward a toll free number directly to your cell phone. From the cell phone companies point of view, it’s just an incoming call and you don’t need to even talk to them. You can have multiple toll free numbers pointing to your cell phone.

          If you were asking if you could point your toll free number to multiple local numbers or cell phones, you probably need to look at the Enhanced Voicemail services. They can try you at multiple different numbers and take messages etc.

            I am looking for an 800 # to be directly connected to my cell phone for my home based business. I do not have access to hard line phone service at this time and really need an 800 # to get my business moving. Please help!

              Sheryl,

              Absolutely! Any number you find available can be pointed to any cell phone number. Most cell phone companies are pretty dumb about toll free service but fortunately you don’t need to use the cell phone company to get the calls to your cell phone. Just like any phone company can send calls to your cell phone, any company can provide the toll free service going to your cell phone.

              One of the best options we recommend is PNG. They do a great job and don’t care at all that it’s a cell phone. It’s 3.9 cents per minute and $2.99 per month. It’s a good deal and I always tell people that it’s smart to start by sending the calls to your cell phone. If your business or needs change in the future you can always change the ring to number. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else.

              Bill

                In the morning after submitting order last night I could not remember my toll free number yet so just for the heck-of-it I spelled on my cell
                "877 SPY-OUST" and. daaammn --- it was working! At first I thought that I just got lucky, but when you answered my questions before I even asked them then I started wondering that you might be some giant robot? But that personal service by phone and email..? Anyway, your system works amazingly! I treat my customers well but have a lot to learn from you.
                Also thanks for introducing me to Joseph. I am getting his international service, which is also super. Good luck to you.

                Bill Quimby was very helpful in answering my emails and phone calls as I went through the process of selecting a toll free number and activating it. Once I selected my number, the activation process was very efficient. I was able to call my toll free number literally within seconds of submitting the application online. The application and activation process could not have been easier and more efficient. -

                Most businesses spend a great deal of time strategically planning any new Vanity 800 Number. Bill Quimby's service not only gave me the number I wanted when other websites said they were unavailable, but I also had Operational 800 Service forwarding to my selected phone within 24 hours!! I now have an easy to remember number to promote a very complex technology.
