Can I get an 800 number and just forward it to Skype?

You can forward any number you get from us to any local number you want including a skype number. You can also transfer any number you get from us to any phone company you want. Actually you have to transfer it to another company, that’s kind of the concept of our service. We help you get the best number and then allow you to transfer it to whoever is best for you for the ongoing service.

We’re kind of like the GoDaddy of the phone number business. I should probably also point out that you don’t have to use the same company that provides the local number to get the calls to your local number. So you don’t need to use Skype to get the calls to a skype phone number. I say that because they are probably pretty dumb about toll free service.

    So if I buy a toll free number from you I still have to transfer it to another service even if I link it to my Skype number?

      You still have to pick someone for the forwarding service. I wrote a post more specifically about customers that sometimes think that if it’s a voip service there’s no cost per minute to point a toll free number there. http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/blogs/providers/voip-800-numbers.html I’m not sure if that’s why you were asking or not, but that might help.

      The thing though is that you can pick anyone you want. You’re not just stuck with the company that you got the toll free number from just because in their fine print, they said that they own your number. That means you can pick whoever is the best and if you find out their customer service is all done through some third world hut that hardly speaks english, (I won’t say their name) then you can transfer it away to someone better at any time.

        I've been a marketer all my life, and I've never read anyone who hits the nail on the head as well as you do.

        If they're not going to remember your phone number, why would you spend all that money on advertising? And they're not going to remember your phone number unless you make it easy for them. It’s as simple as that. All other things being equal, the more memorable your phone number, the more money you'll make.

        Nor is there another service that helps you find the right telephone number for your business like Bill Quimby. His web site should be your first stop when you go into business.

        The service has been so immediate and personal that I felt a little guilty at having called late on a sunday evening - I had expected an answering machine - not the boss! Thanks Bill and you sure deserve the reputation you have built with other satisfied customers. - One of those had recommended you!

        Thank you so much for the services that you provide. You made it so easy for me to acquire a toll-free number that is meaningful and easy for folks to remember. Your website is user-friendly, activation was immediate, the inclusion of minutes for the first month was so helpful, and your advice on where to take the number next was on the money (I am using one of your recommendations!)! Of course choosing from among the thousands of possible numbers you found was not easy, but it was a lot of fun! Now, when people want to rent my cottage on Cape Cod, it's easy for them to remember what to dial! Thanks, again, for making this process so simple.

        Testimonial 1933 out of 1983

        I was excited to hear that Bill was able to get us the exact number we wanted. After searching other sites I found TollFreeNumbers.com to be the most user friendly, and very easy to put an 800 number on backorder. I did an initial search for my number and the search did not show me any numbers I was interested in. So, Mr. Quimby suggested the Advance Keyword search". I added my words to the "Advanced Keyword Search" and tollfreenumbers.com emailed me with a list a month later of the updated numbers available and this list that contained the 800 number that Mr. Quimby was able to get for me. I am grateful to you and your staff, thanks for the help! buy or sell your home fast

        Did some cruising on the easy to use interface and I was able to find a great local exchange # that matched my area as well as a cool vanity number with the same 1-888 prefix! Look forward to great service here in Canada!

        We Googled around looking for a vanity number as well as voice mail service, but after reading the fine print on most of the service providers websites we realized that the providers would technically own our number, meaning that we couldn't take it with us if we decided to switch to another service later. Luckily we stumbled upon TollFreeNumbers.com and were able to secure a number that "wasn't available" according to the other providers. Instead of renting a second-choice number, we now own the number that we wanted all along. Thanks Bill!800 sports weasel
