What is a Toll Free Number?

This probably seems a little basic, but a toll free number is a telephone number that can be called at no cost to the caller, because the recipient pays for the cost of the call. Also referred to as ‘800’ numbers after the original area code, although toll free numbers today can start with the area codes, 800, 888, 877, and 866.

A toll free number is basically like a remote call forwarded number that can forward to whatever local number you want it to. You can also change the number if forwards to (the “ring to number”) whenever you need to. So if you’re starting a small business, you can get your own toll free number and point it to your existing home or cell phone number without any separate line or extra equipment. You can always add a separate line or change the ring to number as your business grows.

Not having to have a separate line will usually save quite a bit more than the cost of the toll free number in just the Click here to COMMENT on thisfirst couple months, not to mention making your business look more professional and giving you the flexibility to grow and change things whenever you’re ready.

                          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!

                          "We found Bill Quimby and the team at TollFreeNumbers.com to be highly proficient and efficient when helping us find the toll-free number to launch our national Preventive Health Screening brand. After just days we were provided at least three viable alternatives, of which we picked 1-800-555-9190 as our main toll-free launch number. We are excited to see how this changes our revenue stream!"

                          You have NO IDEA how fired up I am about having the telephone number 888-CUBSWIN for my new business. No one, NO ONE could be happier than I am about not only having the new business I am building but to have this number to accent that new business is HUGE. I MEAN HUGE. This process of looking for the right number and obtaining the right number took probably about 15 minutes - that is only because I type slow. I am grateful that you put your business together - because of that I will have a step up on any of my soon to be competitors.

                          Thank you.

                          The toll free number we just secured is going to be used for a networking service for real estate investors. We've always recommended that people get these kinds of easy to remember toll free numbers ... but we've never had a resource that makes it so easy to find one and reserve it. Thanks for creating such a fabulous service!!! I expect you'll be seeing A LOT more real estate professionals with custom numbers in the near future.

                          Thanks again for everything.

                          I wanted to thank you for doing such good job, I was told by the old timers in our office that it was almost impossible to get a good number. This was proven wrong, your site kicks butt. power outage protection

                          I appreciate the service you provided me and the service you provide to the 1800 community. It is indeed of great value to be able to register a vanity 800# through a 3rd party provider like yourself. Your 800# vanity search engine is excellent and offers superb suggestions based on your original search criteria. Registering the number with you was fast, and transferring it to an 1800 service provider was just as quick and efficient.

                          I also appreciate the 800 disconnects newsletter, which alerts me when other 1800#'s tailored around my vanity number becomes available.

                          Many thanks,
