1. What is a "Shared
Use" Number?
Shared use numbers are "call routed." A toll free number can be routed
to as many separate telephone numbers as necessary. A truck dealer in
Dallas can have 1-800-TRUCK TOWN pointing to their phone number in Dallas
and receive all calls from Texas, while another truck dealer in Seattle
can get all the 1-800-TRUCK TOWN calls from Washington State.
2. How do I order a
toll free number from 800 VANITY NUMBERS?
Choose one of our two generic vanity numbers and then
check
availability. If the number is available, call us at 1-800-895-1341
and we will send you the signup form.
3. Why lease a number
based on State or Province?
States have established boundaries that are understood by everyone.
Usually you will receive multiple area codes in each state or province.
If you need to reach more than one State or Province, you can lease
as many markets as you like. Most companies only market to one or two
States or Provinces and this way you only pay for what you need.
4. Can I cancel my
toll free service at any time?
Yes. There are no complicated long-term contracts. You can end your
service by giving 30 days notice.
5. Can you rush the
activation of the toll free service?
Our policy is to
have the toll-free number activated within 3-5 business days, however,
if you are in a rush for the toll-free service, then just let us know
and we will expedite your service (1-2 business days) for an additional
fee of $25.
6. If I already have
a toll free number, can I get another toll free number to ring to the
same line?
Yes, you can have as many toll-free numbers ring to one line as you
want. The new toll-free number can ring to the same line as the old
toll-free number if you like. Many companies have separate toll-free
numbers for different product lines and promotions.
7. What are the per
minute rates for each market?
After the first 120 minutes of call time (at no added charged for each
market you lease), you pay (in most markets) just 13 cents per minute.
8. Is there a set up
fee? There
is a one time $75 setup fee when you start the service.
9. Do I need to notify
my local telephone company about the toll free service?
No, our toll free service is a separate service that we setup to ring
to any local telephone number that you choose. Your local telephone
company need not be aware of your toll-free service from us.

11. What if
I want one of the numbers exclusively throughout the US, can I buy one?
We do not sell
toll free numbers. They are leased as "shared use"
numbers on a first come, first served basis.
12. What does 800 VANITY
NUMBERS offer?
We offer shared use vanity toll-free numbers to truck dealerships. For
each market you lease, we include 120 minutes of talk time per month
for each state or province you lease from us at no additional charge.
13. What do you mean,
guaranteed long term rates?
It's simple, your monthly rate is fixed for the life your agreement.
14. Why don't I just
get my own 1-800 toll free vanity number?
The cost to acquire a great toll-free vanity number can be very expensive.
A great number like the ones we offer may not be available unless it
is a shared use number.
15. Why don't I just
get my own 1-888 toll free number?
888 numbers are not branded and not as prestigious as a 1-800 number.
They are frequently misdialed as “800”, driving business to your competition
or away from you.
16. Okay, what about
a 1-877 or 1-866 toll free number?
Again, these numbers are
not branded in the minds of consumers like a 1-800 phone number. Many
consumers do not recognize the 866 and 877 area codes as toll free and
they are far less prestigious – making your business look second rate.
17. Can I expect an
increase in my ad response rate if I use a 1-800 toll free vanity number?
1-800 vanity numbers have been proven to increase advertising response
rates by 30% or more because vanity phone numbers are 6 - 10 times more
likely to be remembered as compared to a numeric phone number.
18. Why do 1-800 toll
free numbers work so well?
1-800 numbers were the
first introduced and therefore branded in consumer's minds as free.
A great generic vanity phone number like the ones we offer, communicate
the two most important elements in marketing. First, What your business
is about and second, how to get in touch with you.
19. Who else uses 1-800
toll free vanity numbers?
Brands like 1-800-FLOWERS, 1-800-COLLECT, 1-800-CONTACTS and 1-800-CALL
ATT are built around 1-800 vanity phone numbers for one simple reason
- they work. In fact, 50% of Fortune 500 companies use 1-800 vanity
phone numbers.
20. Why are our rates
so low? The
reason is simple. Our business is helping businesses grow. A great toll
free number is a tool to help businesses reach that goal and we believe
it must be affordable for the long term. That is why you will never
see a monthly rate hike from us.
