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.

    Thanks Bill!
    Your prompt and efficient service allowed me to get my vanity number up and running within hours. Also, your suggestions led me to 888-99-GROUCH. I tried other companies and none of them offered any variation of the word "grouch" that was important to me. Also your extensive selections of 800, 888 and 877 numbers was remarkable. Most of your competitors only had a large selection of 866 numbers. Finally, your onetime fee was very affordable.

    I never knew how terribly complicated getting a toll free number was, but thanks to you and your company, the process was streamlined and made very simple for anyone to follow and complete. I got my # in approximately 20 minutes from start to finish and choose a calling plan the same day.

    I'm very skeptical of anything internet. I am shocked at the professionalism of tollfreenumbers.com. The fees for a quality 800 number are reasonable. Where the large companies failed tollfreenumbers.com prevailed!

    At our Cruise Holidays cruise travel store, we use the telephone extensively to help guests find the perfect cruise vacation. A toll-free number is very important for us and your website is the quickest way to find and reserve a number that is easy to remember. In addition, your guidelines when assigning the number to a telephone company are complete and invaluable.

    Thank you for your site and your services.

    Using your information, I was able to easily track-down a suitable business "vanity" toll-free number, reserve it through your company, and successfully have my new number transferred to my long-distance provider.
    Without you, your website, and your book, it would have been a far more tedious process, and I could have ended up in one of the "endless loop" scams you speak about.

    Mission accomplished!
    I appreciate your personal concern and assistance.

    Bill was extremely helpful in assisting us with freeing up a number that was being held on to (to our surprise) by a company who reserved a 888 number for us without notifying us after we used
    them for a search.
    Bill also took a considerable amount of time to educate us about 800 numbers.
