Following Up To Confirm The Transfer

Unfortunately it’s often necessary to follow up with most companies to make sure your number(s) are transferred properly. I generally give them a week and then I refax the original request with a note asking about the status. That way they have all the information in case it got held up for any reason and it’s generally faster and easier than trying to get through on the phone.

TIP: If you put a different ring to number down on the transfer form, you’ll be able to tell when it’s transferred much easier.

We generally process all transfer requests the same day we receive them, or within 24 hours, but that is definitely not the industry norm. Most companies take several days just to process release requests. That’s why it generally takes at least a week or up to several weeks for most carriers to transfer numbers. It usually takes most carriers an average of a week just to enter the order and send the resporg to the releasing carrier. We’ve been logging the length of time they usually take and will have some statistics available on t average processing time soon at Resp-org.com.

There are a couple ways that you can check to see if the transfer has gone through. If the number was on our temporary regional service, you’ll know that the number has been transferred if callers are able to get through from outside your area. Sometimes people will point the number to a different number so they can tell when the number is transferred too. And when you get a phone bill from the new carrier that will also tell you whether the number was transferred. The most definitive way to know whether a number has been released is to use the Ameritech hotline, 800-337-4194. After you enter your number, if it says that the company is not recognized and gives a code of QZA, and our phone number, then it is still under our control. If it says someone else, then we’ve released the number.

      Your site is AWESOME!! I first want to say how easy it is to use your website. Those visiting/seeking a vanity number. Read the tips and download the book which has the tips in it, This will save a lot of time rather than figuring it out on your own. Bill You have done a fine job of creating a database of how your system recover names with numbers not to mention how fast you get the results.

      I started my vanity number search with my own creation of words. I could not find the name of our company in a vanity name. One of your tips "describe your business." Since we have a broad offering, I wanted to keep the number pretty broad as well. We are a small technology company that specialize in Audio Video and Communications. I wanted a number to describe that and could flow with our name Integrate All. When I read the tips and downloaded your FREE book, that was the turning point of my brain storm. I skimmed the book quick enough to find another GREAT TIP, "use the thesaurus." Using the thesaurus I came up with more names I could have not thought of on my own that fast. From that tip it was a matter of days to secure the best number that describe what we do. I'm happy to inform you we are the proud owner 1888ezinnovate. By the way the tips on which numbers compared to website as the popularity 800=.com, 888=.net,.info etc.. Priceless!

      We reserved a few numbers then chose 1888ezinnovate and matched the name with 1888ezinnovate.com.Once again another tip from "The Marketer" Our small business is now under re marketing process to change stationary for the new year. This couldn't have happen at a better time.. I was voicing my plans with other business owners, and they too found a big delight to follow my lead. I have already referred them over to your website.

      In addition I would like to take the time formerly thank you for having such a great and easy to use website, that's filled with lots of information for those who enjoy reading and those that really try to help themselves. My advice don't be in a hurry and settle on just any number, that also may be a tip from the tollfreenumbers.com. Be patient put the time in and search. I think my search took me about 3 weeks off and on.. When I read the tips and book it took me about 1.5 days to finalize all. Which brings up another point this is a super fast way to get a vanity number and activated. I think it took some where between 1- 4 minutes to have the number activate and point to a number of my choice..

      Well I best stop now before I have an even longer email to read. I just wanted to recommend to new users that you indeed do what you say you will do. You did it for me and I was amazed on how quick and easy it was activate.


      Best Regards

      Testimonial 888 out of 1701

      I did not think it was possible to get a number so quickly. I found the number I wanted, then purchased it online, and I "instantly" got my number. It could not be any faster. You even have a way to reserve the number in case I found another number that was better.

      After I purchased my number, I was quite confused. I was not sure what to do next. How do you move it to your curent provider? Is there a fee to move? Who do you speak with? Then, low and behold, I got a complete manual on what to do, who to speak with, and what to say. I even got a toll free number "birth certicate". You guys anticipated every question we had and questions we did not even think of.

      Your site was the ONLY one I found that did very nice work of searching for possible toll free numbers without having the hassle of registering or creating a user account. I've forwarded the site to several colleagues already. Thanks again.

      Have a Great Day,

      This was the first time I had ever needed to locate a 1(800) telephone number for my company. After researching five companies on the Internet I selected your company based upon your past testimonials from real people seeking a real solution. So, here I am today writing a testimonial of my own for you and your company.

      As a recent customer of TollFreeNumber.com, I could not be more pleased with this company. Locating a Vanity 1(800) can be difficult but not with this company. The setup was in place within no time and the support was an added bonus. The total cost was nominal and I will look to Bill and TollFreeNumbers.com in the future. Great people offering a wonderful solution.

      Thank you,

      I can honestly say that I thought this process would be a lot more difficult. Your website made it so easy to search for a number, see if it was available and then reserve and activate it in such a short amount of time, I was literally surprised . Your suggestions and helpful advice made it a smooth process. Thanks for your time and expertise! I'll be definitely recommending and using your site again in the future!

      I have done research in the past regarding vanity numbers and the best I ever came up with was companies that lease vanity numbers to the tune of about $5000 per month. You are restricted to choose from the inventory they carry. And what a HUGE business that must be for them because the point of a vanity number is for your advertising and once you become known by your vanity number, basically they own you.

      When I found your site I was more than pleased by the automated process for selecting my own vanity number. When I found one that was fitting for my campaign, I must be honest in saying your price seemed way too good to be true. Even to the extent I was willing to lose the fifty dollars to find out if it was erroneous. When I was able to call the vanity number and it actually ringed to my cell phone I was beside myself.

      Your site, service, and price is beyond measure and I would recommend your service to anyone interested in vanity numbers.

      Thank you for your service!

      Sincerely,

      I wanted to take an extra moment to thank you for your service during my call 2/23/07. I have been trying to chase down the info on the number you secured for me in April of 2005. I assumed that since you had done your work almost two years ago, this was one of those things that would be "not my problem" for you by now. Instead, you were so courteous and helpful. It was a genuine pleasure to encounter someone as dedicated to customer service as I am...even two years after the sale.
