Why are we able to get Toll Free Numbers better than regular phone companies?

regular phone companies aren't experts at vanity 800 numbers like we are

Someone asked me this question today after being told by their phone company that it would be three weeks before they’re able to get or even check for an 855 number. If we’re going to the same pool, why are we able to get things so much faster, provide better documentation and do it so inexpensively?

In regular phone companies there are multiple layers of information dilution and confusion plus less direct access to the people in control that know what they’re doing and have the ability to make it happen. We also have better search tools available right on the website, and don’t have the overhead of a big phone company. We don’t do any advertising or have expensive offices.

We just built a better mouse trap and have a huge following and great reputation for being the best in the vanity number business. To regular phone companies this is an after thought of an after thought. We’re number geeks and dream in 800 numbers. This is our passion. Regular phone companies just aren’t very passionate about anything.

    Bill:

    I’m glad I found you – spent over an hour on AT&T site (tried there first) and wasn’t even disclosed about $15 per month “termination fee” until I was at the final order steps. And they lock the number for at least 10 minutes (they say 10) after you check it on their site. There was no charge for terminating my web session prior to ordering from them.

    Either way, happy to provide testimonial to you if it helps. I plan to terminate this through my new voip provider (Voipo) which, just got my ported T-Mobile home number. Voipo is easy and can be simple. The
    price is great and the voice quality is at least as good as I get on ATT with good wiring.and 12 year old (but updated) infrastructure.

    Thanks!

      Bill was tremendously helpful in getting my service up and running. The turnaround time was amazing! I'm a very small business and struggling to be successful with my start up company. I have every confidence my toll free number will make the difference.

      Thank you for the valuable consulting services. We were able to find a customized 1 888# that included our company name and best of all it was already available. Other “toll free consulting? companies WANTED to charge me $1000s in monthly fees and we wouldn’t have owned the number. We are signing up with OPEX next month to have national coverage.

      I was clueless when I started seeking out a vanity number, but I knew it was imperative to get just the right number to start my business. Mr Quimby was very diligent in following up with available numbers. When I called Mr. Quimby answered the phone himself to my surprise! Exceptional customer service. Thank you so much. I would surely recommend him and this site!

      I run a very small charity dedicated to fighting Teen Dating Violence (TDV) and have been looking for a toll-free number for our organization for weeks. It was with relief that I found your tool for searching for available numbers.

      Your website was very helpful especially the inclusion of suggestions as that prompted me to apply more creativity in my search for "the perfect number."

      I'm happy to say that I've found it: 1-877-STOP-TDV

      Your 800 number service is easily the best on the internet. You answered my email questions very quickly. My 800 number was up and running in very little time. I especially like the information you sent me to complete the transfer of my new number to my local phone carrier. Thanks again and I would recommend your site to anyone who wants professional and timely service.

      Testimonial 824 out of 1983

      If not for Bill Quimby's tollfreenumbers.com my little company would be paying over $10,000 a year in monthly fees to the 800# company squatting on the initial # I wanted.

      If you're a small business like me, the minute you start researching toll free numbers you realize quickly that virually all the best 7 digit numbers are taken by unscupulous companies that have them solely to rent them to unsuspecting little guys like me for exporbitent monthly fees.
      These '"warehousers" offer limited term contracts that allow them to jack up your fee even farther at term-end if the # is successful for you. In my case the warehouser I delt with wanted to increase the fees 25% per year! When I tried to rnegotiate a bettter deal, the rep agree to my terms on the phone only to send me a contract draft unfavorable changes to other terms (in this case per cent charges and others) already agreed upon. So like a sleazy car dealer they tried to slip changes by me to get that money from me one way or another.

      Bill's company is the lone life raft in the middle of a cut-throat sea. No other company out there will provide you virtually unlimited ownership a toll-free number for a one-time fee. More bill's one-times are amazingly reasonable. Still more, Bill will provided me with invaluable advice about finding alternative numbers and managing my number once I'd purchased it.

      Note that as i type this I know it must sound like I'm a pal of Bill's or have been coached on what to say. But this statement is entirely independent and borne of 2 months experience seaching for that right number-- which I found through tollfreenumbers.com!

      indeed i believe that tollfreenumbers.com is more than a company. It's the only public service available for the little guy in a business where the FCC looks the other way on its own rules (stated on its website page for 800#s!) against warehousing and reselling numbers.

      Hail to you. I had no idea how messy this could get. You saved us. We love our number and my confusion and order with that "other" lumbering big guy who said I didn't get this number is getting a cancellation call today. If you are reading testimonials ->>Trust Bill really really. He didn't pay me for this.

      I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your business model and your defense of small businesses, fairness, and integrity. Reading through the forum, not only was very informative as to tools and resources I could use to improve my business, but reinforced my desire to support you and your business over the business of others (888guy & jsteppe aka:IP:24.62.225.102). Your honesty shines through to your customers. That is a successful e-business.
