Are You Frustrated With Reverse Phone Number Searches for Cell Phone Numbers? by: blog-editor2, November 12, 2010 Reverse phone number searches can be necessary for all kinds of reasons. Perhaps you are trying to find out who is talking to your wife or boyfriend, you want to know who is behind that strange number that keeps calling you, you want to acquire a certain number, or you need to stop a number from continually running up your toll free number bill with unwanted calls. Whatever your reasons for a reverse phone number search, trying to perform your own detective work can quickly become frustrating if you do not know where to look. Occasionally for cell phones, you may be able to perform reverse phone number searches simply by typing variations of the number into search engines like Google and Bing. However, all too often the result is just bringing up paid reverse phone number search sites that cannot guarantee they have the exact information you want. When it comes to reverse phone number searches for cell phones, you can also try sites like Board Tracker, which are designed to search forums and networking sites that normally do not come up in Google searches. Or if you are really desperate, you can try call spoofing which masks your number and voice, so you can call the number directly. Fortunately, if you need a reverse phone number search for an 800 toll free number, things are a little more straightforward. Owners of toll free numbers are closely guarded by phone companies and sometimes even by the owners themselves. However, by using the latest and most advanced reverse phone number search tools, you can now instantly get details on 800, 888, 877, 866, and 855 numbers for free. You will also find that the leading toll free number providers offer further search and negotiation options that guarantee results. Read More
The Seven Best Ways to Find Good Toll Free Numbers by: blog-editor2, November 5, 2010 1. Unifies Branding A good toll free number should unify your branding. That means having a vanity number that matches with your business name and Internet domain name. Checking the availability of all three before you reserve any is important. 2. Keyword Search Tools At least one of the leading toll free number providers now offers a keyword search tool for looking up toll free numbers based on keywords in your branding, whether it is your business name, Internet domain name, product, or service. 3. Check Out The Competition See what the competition is doing. What is working for them? What companies are dominating your industry and is it because of their toll free numbers? 4. Differentiate Once you have researched your competitors, analyze what you can do differently. What niches are being left under-served or what direction can you go in to become more appealing to consumers? 5. Reverse Lookups If there is a toll free number already in use that is ideal for your organization, you may wish to perform a reverse lookup to discover who owns the number in question. You may still be able to acquire this number, although it may be wiser to employ the services of a third party to negotiate the best deal for you. 6. Shared Usage Shared usage of toll free numbers can be a great way to get use of a premium vanity number at a fraction of the cost. This option is perfect for businesses that are operating in only a few select areas as opposed to nationwide or globally. For example, you could possibly reserve a premium vanity number like 800-MORTGAGE or 800-HOMELOAN for use just within the one or two states where you are licensed to do business. 7. Testing If you are still having a hard time deciding on which toll free number is best for your business, perhaps you will want to test out several. You can test by simply bouncing the ideas off of different focus groups or polling. Or you could even try out different toll free numbers in PPC ads, and different pieces in direct mail campaigns to see which pulls in the highest response and closing ratios.
