Important 800 Lessons

Some people think it’s helpful to put the local number in your advertsing as well as the toll free number. One down side of this is that you may not realize if your toll free number isn’t working. And that can cause an even bigger problem. Whatever you do, do NOT let your toll free number be disconnected for months.

A customer recently called because they just realized that their number was disconnected. Unfortunately they didn’t realize that it was disconnected for four months and one week. And like clockwork, the number came out of the disconnect aging process after four months and 7 minutes later it was taken by a phone sex company.

This is a HARD lesson to learn. But it’s important to repeat and try to help others to avoid this, so here are the lessons we need to learn from this.

1. Always dial your toll free number BEFORE you put it into new advertising.
2. Dial your toll free number periodically just to make sure your toll free number is NOT disconnected for an extended period of time.
3. Use our free monitoring service to make sure your own number is never disconnected and it’ll also show you if any of the other area code versions are disconnected too.
4. If you have any problems with your toll free number, call me right away. Don’t wait months because if someone else takes it after it goes through the aging process there’s very little anyone can do.

    You guys are great!!! I tried to buy this number from the previous owner and was unsuccessful, even though I offered them more than I invested in your services. I will certainly recommend you to other businesses.

    Thanks.

    I spent many hours and phone calls needlessly trying to work with the Frontier network Phone cmpany trying to obtain a decent toll free number. Their method was to have me keep sending them lists of possible names or numbers I would like to try to get and then after several days they would respond and state that none of them were available. Finally in exasperation we just accepted one which we did not really care for and that was not memorable.

    I came acrosss your site after Googling because we realized that the number we had accepted just was not going to be what we wanted. Your site came up with so many great numbers in minutes and now we feel more confident about our growth and name recognition in the future .

    Thanks - however you do it !

    I love your website. I got a great number with it, but I've also been looking for something that I thought I could do while working my day job just to bring in a little extra income and this looks like it. I just want to say thanks for your thoughts and help on this.

    Thanks

    Great service. The ability to instantly plug in my possible vanity numbers and get immediate results and suggestions for alternative names was great. Also, it's nice not getting sales pressure from a live rep. Finally, your service is affordable and easy to use. Thanks for a great experience!

    I was very pleased with how easy it was to use your site to secure a toll-free number for my business. It is refreshing to find a site like yours that is transparent and truly user friendly. When I did have a question, I was impressed that you personally fielded my call and provided me with cost-saving and time-saving advice. I will recommend your site to others. Thanks again.

    I have used TollFreeNumbers.com to search for vanity numbers in the past. This time I finally bought one online from his site.

    I was having things printed about My Vemma and the dangers of free radicals. The vanity number was an after thought at the last minute. So I called to see if I was guaranteed the number once I bought it since my business cards were at the printers.

    Bill told me once I received the birth certificate or called the number and it called where I have told the service to it was mine. So I frantically called the number and it was LVIE about 5 minutes after I bought it! I'm not sure how they do it but it was much easier than the others I have used in the past.

    Thanks Bill, your site is great!!

    I got a perfect number for my flower essence therapy consultation business: 877-FLWR-PWR! And it's easy to remember numerically too! (877-359-7797) Many people have commented how catchy and perfect it is. I agree.

    I don't see why people use any other toll-free number service. TollFreeNumbers is so very inexpensive, convenient, quick and you actually own the number rather than rent it. Can it get any better than that? It's going great so far.

    Bill Quimby is the rarest of resources, a fellow who actually understands how the telecom infrastructure works, and who gives incredible value for the fee he charges. I can unhesitatingly recommend his service.
