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.

    Thank you Bill and Rita for helping wade through the maze of obtaining an 800#. I first called my local carrier and found it expensive, plus they couldn't forward to my cell phone. She was so helpful and informative. My new number was up and running within an half hour!Gourmet Baskets and More

    Thank you again,

    Your website is informative, user friendly, and easy to use. Your price is fair and your service is excellent. After looking at possible numbers, it took me around 3 minutes to complete the transaction. I am now a proud owner of my 800 number. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

    Bill Quimby's vanity phone numbers are working for us! Just by verbally letting customers know about our 877-Hey-Rag-House seller & 877-Hey- Rich-house buyer numbers and they call them after we meet, because its so easy to remember. It also gives us much needed credibility in our growing stage. Bills vanity number finding system, found us the best combination of 800's available and it actually gave us a nice marketing slogan in the process. I have not found any service like it and trust me we have been searching. Vanity numbers separate the potential fortune 500 company from the moms & pops store and these numbers bring us one step closer to our goal.

    I had spent two frustrating days trying to come up with a vanity number and checking each individually just find that they were taken.
    One query from your search engine and I found a number and it was activated within minutes. Great service !!

    Just a short note to say thank you for your site. It is the easiest I've ever experienced. I have tried other companies who say they can find an 800 number for you and want to charge an arm and a leg! Your site helped me find the right number in a few minutes affordably. You also sent me a reminder concerning switching the phone numbers over, which I forgot to do.
    Again thank you and I look forward to using your service again and again!
