Vanity numbers are typically the most successful toll free numbers. Toll free numbers are words spelled out in the number. Here are some tips to be sure you find the best toll free number for your business:
Pick words that are easy to spell to ensure they will be remembered correctly.
The words you choose for your toll free vanity number should generally pertain to your target market culture. It must make sense and describe your product and/or service or fit in a well-crafted tag line like: “Call 1-800-SOLUTIONS for solutions to your financial problems.”
It’s better to reduce mixing words and numbers. The most successful toll free vanity numbers are comprised of only words, and are considered more valuable.
Integrate your toll free vanity number throughout your business. Your toll free vanity number must be seamlessly intertwined and highly visible in everything the public sees or hears about your company.
Numeric-only numbers don’t have the same memorability as vanity numbers (numbers that spell something), but some people prefer them because they are easy to dial. Numeric numbers are especially good for:

Yes, absolutely. We recommend 7-10 digits as optimal but it depends on your market and advertising medium. For example, if you advertise on a billboard then it's most important that your audience remembers the number. Chances are that they will wait until they get to the office or get home before they actually call. In that instance it's best to make it memorable, even if it goes over by a few digits. When dialing from a land line you can easily dial 10 digits without any interference. If a longer number is chosen, make sure that it won't interfere with you're companies menu options.

Rates vary depending on several factors including the demand for the number in question, the areas of usage and the contract length. When you select a number from our Search Results page you will see more detailed pricing information for that particular number. You pay just the one flat rate for usage of the number each month. You will pay an additional prepaid rate for your long distance charges if you desire more than 100 minutes. Like cell phones plans, you pay a fee per minute regardless of whether the number is actually long distance. See our Tips on Pricing page for more specific information.
All toll free numbers must run through a telephone company in order to route them to their destination and those carriers charge per minute fees regardless of where the calls are coming from.
Most call centers have the capability of having calls routed through direct lines. Our consultants can work directly with your call center to determine the feasibility of usage in your particular situation.
If you choose a monthly contract, you may cancel at any time with 15 days written notice. All other contracts must be fulfilled by completing the contract length, or paying the remaining contracted fees.
Your contract will automatically renew at the end of your contract period to make sure you never have a lapse in service. If you remain a long-term client it's reasonable to assume that at some point there may be some minor fluctuation in price when your contracts renew, but our main goal is to keep your service as consistent as possible. We know that clients spend a lot of money on advertising and branding and we have your best interests in mind when it comes to safeguarding that asset.
Typically a number is set up automatically to go to your free voicemail that comes with the toll free number, however occasionally it can take longer. We recommend setting up your number at least a week before running any advertising so that you have time to test and set up options for your new custom toll free number.
A toll free number is a telephone number that can be called at no cost to the caller, because the recipient pays for the cost of the call. Also referred to as '800' numbers after the original area code, although toll free numbers today can start with the area codes, 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844 or 833.
A: Call us at 1-855-800-3030 to notify us that you wish to cancel service. Note that you MUST cancel by the 15th of the month in order to avoid incurring additional fees for the next month's billing cycle. Once processed, you will receive an email confirmation with your effective cancellation date. If you are on a long term contract a representative will send a reminder of your term length and discuss cancellation terms.
A vanity number is an alphanumeric telephone number which often incorporates words, abbreviations or acronyms in place of numbers. For example, the letters in 1-800-Flowers correspond to the numbers 800-356-9377 on your phone's dial pad.
While in use for over 30 years, vanity numbers have recently become recognized as one of the most powerful business, branding and marketing tools. Most notably their ability to generate 30-60% higher response rates to direct response advertising has dramatically driven up demand. This is attributed to the ease of memorability compared to regular phone numbers especially when consumers only have a few seconds to take them in.
The latest toll free number search tools allow you to quickly and easily find vanity numbers by keyword or phrase for specialized purposes or to unify business branding.
However, there are also numeric vanity numbers which are easy to remember numeric numbers often incorporating strings of the same digits. For example 888-888-8888.
A toll free number just forwards to or points to a regular local number. No special equipment or additional line or installation is required.
When a call is placed to a toll free number, the Local Exchange Company (LEC) queries the SMS/800 Database to determine the inter-exchange carrier (long distance company) responsible for carrying the call. The inter-exchange carrier then picks up the call, applies the appropriate features or routing, creates a call record for billing, and routes the call to the terminating number, trunk ID or circuit ID to which the toll free number is programmed to ring.
For example, when you reserve a toll free number with Custom Toll Free, we ask you for your 'ring-to' number, and upon successful reservation your new toll free number is routed to your designated local number. *Hint, a cell phone works too! Want to change where your toll free number rings to? No problem, changing the 'ring-to' is easy with the online account management included with your custom toll free number.
