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.

    As someone who knew what they wanted from their toll free number, I couldn't have been any happier when I came across Bill Quimby's website. I was able to talk to him personally to get my questions answered and was therefore able to achieve the quickest and most satisfiing results. Thanks Bill!"

    Bill Quimby and tollfreenumbers.com have been very helpful to us in understanding how toll free numbers work and have given us sound advice. With Bill’s help, we learned who the customer of record is for a prime toll free number that fits our business perfectly. Soon our toll free number will match our domain name. I recommend tollfreenumbers.com to anyone who wants straight facts, sound advice, and great customer service.

    Naperville, IL Painting ContractorWhat can I say! Now-a-days everytime you need service over the phone you're put on hold for 2 hours, transfered five times to other departments , it takes thirty tries and one month to accomplish the task. I have to say that working with you was headache free. You are on top of things and the service is very efficient. I would rate your service *****.

    Many Thanks,

    Thanks for the opportunity and thanks for the great turnaround on the toll free number. Your site was easy to navigate, concise and true.

    You helped me get my toll free number quickly and easily and provided excellent follow through, as well. It was well worth the cost to me, to not have to rely on my current carrier. They're great at what they do, but not real good at getting vanity numbers.

    Tollfreenumbers.com had the exact vanity number I requested to coordinate with my company name and website. From the number selection process, to ownership of the number, the entire transaction was incredibly simple, fast, and affordable. If I had a question, Bill was right there to answer my question, without hestitancy. In this fast paced world, it's nice to connect to the person behind the company. The support behind tollfreenumbers.com is just as reliable.
