What are toll free services?

July 24, 2007

A toll free number, also referred to as an “800 number,” is a service where the person receiving the call pays for the call (rather than the caller). This is a cost-effective alternative to calling cards, pay phones or calling collect. Currently, any phone number beginning with 800, 888, 877 or 866 is a toll free number.  However, there are features of toll free numbers that make having one very useful – beyond the benefit of cheaper calls, it can help you manage a virtual office, and instantly redirect calls if you are at numerous locations (without your callers ever knowing)! Think of having a home-based business where you can have a toll-free number that follows you wherever you go!  

How do I get a toll free number?

July 24, 2007

As we’ve discussed, to get a toll-free number, you don’t need an extra phone line. Instead, the number rings through to your business, cellphone or whatever other number you specify.

Toll-free numbers are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Toll-free service providers have access to something called the SMS/800 database, which contains information regarding the status of all toll-free numbers.

Just about all long-distance carriers offer toll-free numbers, so it’s worthwhile to contact your carrier. But you can also find toll-free providers who offer numbers at very good prices.

How can you eclipse the competition with a Vanity number brand?

July 24, 2007

A vanity number brand eliminates obstacles between you and your customer.  And by obstacles, we don’t simply mean the cost of call— you can achieve that with any 800 toll-free numbers. We also mean “competitors.”  Because a vanity number brand shortens the distance between you and customer, the distraction that arises from, for example, browsing a in a phone book, vanish. And so does your competition.
