Is this for real?
Yes, it’s for real, but it’s 2.85¢/min in most areas, not
2.0. In some areas it’s 3.45 or even 4.85 in some areas with smaller
local phone companies. This is definitely for real and the best deal
anywhere but please don’t call me just to ask me if the price is correct or if there’s any catch, because there really isn’t. There’s no setup fee and no monthly fee at all, and no minimum use or term commitment at all. My site is obviously geared toward 800 numbers,
but you can get the same 2¢/min rate for your outbound long distance too,
although it’s not a requirement.
An overview of regular toll free service
A toll free number doesn't have a separate physical line. You can basically think of a toll free number more like a remote call forwarded number or an alias
number which lands on the local number you point it to. People can still
dial your local number but whenever anyone dials your tollfree number it will come in to your local number as if they had dialed the local number directly. You can't dial out on a toll free number. Your local number will still work and dial out the same. You can get toll free service with outbound long distance service here, both for the same
2.85¢ per minute (start by entering your area code and exchange above to check availability for your area), or you can get
Toll Free Only service without any outbound long distance for just 4.9¢ per
minute at TollFreeOnly.com. I also have separate sites for setting up toll free service to a cellular phone as well as
calls mainly from within your state or
a site for forwarding US and
Canadian toll free calls internationally,
a site specifically for Canadians
and another for anyone that doesn't have
good credit.
I've tried to break these different segments down to simplify it for you and provide the best information and service for each area.
But if you don't understand or find what you need
just
let me know and I'll try to help you or point you in the right direction.
Please explore and read a little to find the right service. This
section directly on 800Numbers.com is for the cheapest best value 800
service. When you're ready, you start by entering your area code and
exchange above.
The basics about the Airespring/GlobalFibernet service
They can only afford to give you such an awesome rate if you have reasonable
credit (that’s why they need your SSN) and if you’re in a major local phone
company area (that’s why they need your local phone number to check
availability). If you’re with a large competitive company it’s probably
going to say 3.45¢/min or in more remote areas 4.85¢/min. But with no set up
fee, no monthly fee or minimum use at all, it’s still a really good deal!
If it’s not available in your area at all, try
TollFreeOnly.com or if you’re in
Canada use Canadian800.com and if
you need one with lower credit requirements try Prepay800.com. There’s never
any monthly fee because they do a really good job of online billing. There’s
also no extra charge for large accounts (over $15/month) to get a paper
bill, but there is an extra $2/month fee for smaller accounts that request a
paper bill. The billing can be done automatically each month with a credit
card or a bank debit (giving you the convenience of “One bill”) or if you
have excellent credit you can send a check each month.
The receipt page will tell you it takes 7-10 days but a toll free number is
usually active in about 5-10 days. They will notify you and communicate
mostly via email. Like most of the lower price services, you have to sign up
online and the first step is to enter your phone number to see if you
qualify. Then just fill out the online form and you’re on your way.
If you do any significant amount of advertising you should consider a vanity number
800Numbers.com can NOT get you vanity numbers, but if you need a good vanity
number, try my other site TollFreeNumbers.com. I'll even help you find and get a great brand name "800" number if you really need it. Check out my Vanity Number Lookup tool and let me know if you need any more help because a good memorable "1-800" number will increase the response rate to all your advertising for the life of your business. For TV and Radio or outdoor advertising this is especially important, because you can raise the response rate to all your advertising by 25-30% or more just by using a good vanity number the right way. This is also important for anyone that really needs a brand name, even in a startup business, because a good number also gives you credibility and makes you seem like an industry leader. Your phone number is the doorway to new business. Get a memorable address and you'll be amazed how much more business you get. Look at TollFreeNumbers.com and call Bill Quimby directly at 1-800 MARKETER for a Free Consultation to see how we can help you get a "Power Number" to help you take your business to the next level.
The biggest benefits of toll free numbers for small businesses
There are several important benefits of using toll free numbers for small businesses. The first and most obvious is that they increase both the response rate and your effective market area. Studies, experience and common sense all show that consumers just prefer to dial toll free numbers. They are more likely to respond to your ad and will call from a larger area if you use a toll free number rather than a local number. Toll free numbers are recognized everywhere
Toll free numbers also have some unique capabilities that local numbers don't. 800 numbers are also portable, meaning the ring to number can be changed at almost any time to another local number. You can change the ring to number at no cost, just by calling customer service and you never have to worry about missing a call or sale because they had old information or an old business card. They hide your information while providing additional information to you, allowing you to track the callers because you get the date, time, duration and the number of every call, even if they block caller ID.
Toll-free numbers are also easy to set up and much less expensive than most people realize, because with this service there is no monthly fee at all. You just pay for the actual usage by the minute. And at
2.85 cents per minute it's only $1.71 per hour so your time costs way more than the phone call. In fact, since most people are paying quite a bit more than
2.85¢ per minute for their long distance calls, you may actually wind up paying quite a bit less using our discount long distance service and our toll free service than you were with your old long distance alone.
