Million dollar 800 numbers

07/03/2008

1-800 COMPANY

90% of the 10 million dollar PR number mentioned at NamePros is certainly hype but they did get the number from someone as well as the domain name and a principle trademark on the word mark 1-800-COMPANY. And even if they didn’t pay 10 million dollars they are essentially valuing it at that internally. On the other hand the fact that it’s worth so much also means that you shouldn’t expect to come along and just register a number like that directly with the phone company either.

    Do you feel LUCKY?!

    800 numbers in disconnect are harder to get

    We work very hard to get backordered 800 numbers from Disconnect for you

    If you think you might be able get a disconnected 800 number after it comes out on your own by just waiting, think again. We have several people and spend about thousands of dollars per month on access and programs and only get around 50% or so of the backorders because the competition is just tough, it’s HUGE.

    Read the rest about how the deck is stacked against you.

      Fake phone companies

      07/01/2008

      Whatever you do, don't mention Taco Bell to him!

      You can dress up a Chihuahua and try to make it look like a real big company, but in the end, it’s still just a Chihuahua.

      When most people think of a phone company, they think of a large call centers, trucks, and an army of people like the Verizon commercials. You don’t usually think of that as a home based business or something you could start for a few thousand dollars. That’s because you couldn’t start a real phone company for a few thousand dollars in hardware, some programming and a nice webpage, but you probably could start a fake phone company for that (or less).

      There are several types of fake 800 services that are little more than a nice webpage and one or two people.

        Backorders Simplified in just 6 sentences

        06/30/2008

        backordering, the race for 800 numbers

        We’ve simplified the Backorder process down into just 6 sentences.

        1. When a toll free number is disconnected in the national 800 database it goes into a 4 month disconnect holding period before it drops back into the available pool where other phone companies can get it.

        2. Regular phone companies won’t show you disconnected numbers because they only look at what’s currently in the available pool and good numbers get taken within a second or two of coming out of the disconnect period so regular phone companies never see or show them.

        3. We only allow the first person that requests a disconnected number from us to backorder it, and we’ll confirm the number then research it to get the exact date it comes out and if they don’t cancel it before that date, we’ll try to grab it for them in the first couple seconds.

        4. A backorder does NOT guarantee that you’ll get the number, but if we do get it, it’s yours and we charge you $195 for an 866, $395 for an 877, $595 for an 888, and $795 for an 800, and we give you free temporary service and then help you transfer it to any other phone company you want for the ongoing service.

        5. Just because an 800 number goes to a disconnected message, that does NOT prove it’s in disconnect status in the national database, and there’s no database with the owner info, except with the phone company responsible for that number.

        6. We don’t track down the owner of an 800 number to get them to sign off on it (although we can process the paperwork for you if you do), but we do try hard to get numbers for you and even try to get some 800 numbers from the phone company for you right before they drop.

          But when I called it…

          06/27/2008

          Disconnected 800 numbers

          We get a lot of callers starting out like this, usually followed by an explanation that the number went to some type of disconnect or error message. And when you try to explain things, they tend to want to answer you back with sentences that start with “But…” alot too. In some ways that’s kind of like thinking you can or should be able to buy a house just because there’s nobody home. They could be home but just work nights or it might be active but just from Canada or some other state where it’s used by a tow truck company that doesn’t want calls from outside his state.

          There are a lot of different reasons why a number might be going to a message that sounds like it’s disconnected without the toll free number actually being in disconnect status. It could be pointing to a local number that’s disconnected. It could just be set up wrong in several different ways in the carrier. It could be working at the carrier but just not programmed in the switch properly. It could be active with the carrier but they might show it going to a reseller who doesn’t have any record of it. It could be a pager number that’s not in service. It could be a call in number for American Idol that they only turn on during the show hours.

          Calling an 800 number doesn't prove very much but you can dig deeper if you really want to.

            How does the FCC control toll free numbers?

            06/26/2008

            Here's a short summary about how the FCC controls toll free numbers & their role in the development of the 800 number system.

              A One Time Extension of the temporary 800 service

              06/25/2008

              Get an extension for the free temporary 800 serviceWe give you free temporary service for the first 30 days or 100 minutes of use. That gives you time to transfer the number to whatever phone company you want to use it with for the ongoing service. But what happens if you forget to transfer your 800 number? The temporary service expires, but it’s still your number. You can still transfer it to whatever company you want even after the temporary service has expired. You can also get a one time extension if you need it.

              Read more about getting an extension if you need it.

                What numbers do we find better and why?

                06/24/2008

                Read more about the types of 800 numbers we can find for you

                People always ask, Why we find so much better numbers than anyone else? And why when they go to their phone company, they are told the numbers we showed on our website weren’t available? They often think there’s something devious going on, but there really isn’t. We just do a better job at that, because that’s our job and that’s really NOT their job. It’s just something they need to do in order to do their job.

                There are four different types of toll free numbers that we find better than any other phone company for four different reasons. But if I had to sum it all up I would sum it up with three words. We try harder. That may be an over simplification but isn’t that really the main reason why most people succeed?

                Read about why we find Disconnected #s, Premium #s, Random 800 #s and even regular numbers, than anybody else.

                  1-800 SUICIDE VIDEO

                  06/23/2008

                  This is a short two and a half minute video about what 1-800 SUICIDE does and also about how the federal government is trying to kill it and take their phone number. Should the government have the right to take YOUR 800 number if it’s for their definition of the higher good? This is definitely worth watching. This is our previous post about 1-800 SUICIDE. It’s also online at NowPublic and there’s another previous 800-SUICIDE video at politicstv.com

                    Activations Simplified into just 4 sentences

                    06/23/2008

                    800 activation and setupWe’ve simplified the toll free number activation process down into just 4 sentences (about 200 words).

                    1. Our only cost is a one time fee of $49 to Activate right online, any toll free number that says Currently Available, and they're usually ringing to any local number you specify, even a cell phone or voip line in about 30 seconds.

                    2. We’re like the Go Daddy of the phone number business, finding better numbers, giving you better proof of ownership, free temporary service for the first 30 days and then we help you transferring the number to any phone company you want (in the US or Canada) to use for as long as you want.

                    3. The cheapest real toll free companies go down to around 3 cents per minute and a couple bucks per month but you’re not locked into any specific service this way, so you can change phone companies or the ring to number, any time you want, which guarantees you’ll always have a competitive rate and decent service.

                    4. We’ll email you within 24 hours, our toll free manual that explains the transfer process including your Toll Free Birth Certificate™ and several good options you are probably cheaper and better than you’d usually find yourself because we really try to make the process as quick and easy as possible to help you get the best number and the best service too.

                      I was looking for a service to search for a specific vanity phone number for my new company. I did a search on Google and went to 4 other sites before coming TollFreenumbers.com. This site was very simple to navigate and the search tool was awesome. I was able to secure the number I was looking for very quickly. The fact the Bill the owner of the company has his name and contact e-mail and phone number everywhere on the site was very reassuring and a refreshing twist to a business website. Thanks TollFreeNumbers.com

                      I want to personally thankyou for assisting me in obtaining the correct eight hundred number to represent my business. I especially like having paperwork to show ownership of the number as we all know how important these numbers are to an effective business. This is still a very small one man business but as the right things are obtained like this easy to remember toll free number it will be possible to see growth and prosperity.
