Directory Assistance Misdials

Everyone can sign up for a free listing in the Internet 800 Directory at GoTollFree.comI’ve talked with businesses that generate several customers per day simply for the cost of listing their business with Toll Free Directory Assistance (which generally costs $10-15/month). It’s most effective for unusual company names. For hard to pronounce names register under multiple different names, some spelled phonetically as whatever you think a customer might ask for or an operator might hear. You may even be able to register for competitive names.

You should also think about what city you are listed in. If there are multiple distributors for an organization listed, the operator will usually ask them either what department they want (if there are different departments listed) or they will ask them “in what city?” If the customer knows where the company is based they will often select the number located in that city. So you should try to get the city listed with directory assistance to be the city your organization is based in.

TIP: The main Toll Free Directory Assistance is run by AT&T. Other companies will always charge you a monthly fee to be added, but AT&T won’t (although their toll free numbers generally have a fee of some kind). Smaller companies will sometimes list your name or address with directory assistance as something else though which can be an advantage which AT&T generally won’t.

I was amazed that just one call to you and 7 minutes later you found the Right toll free number, 1 888 825-3383 (1-888 TAKE EVERYONE!) turned it on and even helped me get a better deal for the long distance than anyone else could too. Simply awesome!

      Your entire team have been great and never dropped the ball. From finding us a vanity number, to registering and transferring the number to our carrier, everything was done expeditiously and professionally. We could not have asked for more.

      As a small Telco service provider and reseller. I recently found one of my Subscription based 1-800 service provider refused to allow my users vanity number to be transferred without loosing all rights to my users purchased vanity number should they decide to discontinue service with this provider. I tried talking with the subscription provider but got no where. I brought the situation to Bill who quickly sent off an email to the President of this service. The results were a complete reversal of policy.
      Thank you Bill and I will continue to use your company for all our vanity number request.

      professional internet marketing consultants and programmers specializing in Search Engine OptimizationI've never experienced such a streamlined process. Everything was well explained and documented. I even went with the carrier that they referred which was another awesome and non-glitched experience. I would definitely recommend Bill Quimby and his company to anyone looking for vanity toll free numbers.

      I wanted to say how easy to use the tollfreenumbers web site was. I looked at many others but they were the best. I called and spoke to a customer service person and they were helpful and did not rush me at all. I got the perfect phone number for my books business 1-888-4SavonBooks. I would have never created this without tollfreenumbers.
