1. Why use a Vanity 800 Toll-Free Number?
The answer is simple and compelling: They work! Names are much easier to remember than numbers. Our power phone numbers increase client memorabilty and advertising response rates. Studies show that using a strong and easily memorized vanity toll free number can increase your advertising effectiveness by 300% and boost your overall sales by 30% to 200%. A specific study proved that radio ads with a vanity 800 number drew 14 times more calls than those with a numeric 800 number. Vanity numbers are so easy to remember, they prompt people to phone you and inquire about your services. This leads to increased sales! Catchy names also make it easy for friends and affinity partners to refer new clients to you. Our modest monthly fees will easily be recouped by your reduction in advertising costs and the increased sales/revenues you will enjoy Back to top

2. What is a “Shared Vanity 800 Toll-Free Number?”
Our technology allows a toll-free number like 1-877-MAX-REFUNDS to be used by different Accountant’s and Tax Preparer’s in their respective advertising markets throughout the U.S. and Canada, with calls routed to the correct subscriber based on the location of the person dialing the number. Each “Member” enjoys exclusive use of the number in his or her protected territory. When you activate a shared Vanity 800 Toll-Free number, you select the area codes that pertain to your markets. Once your account is activated within your designated area codes, you’ll have exclusive usage of the number. All inbound calls from callers within your area codes will instantly be re-routed to your “ring-to” target number(s). Back to top

No! We re-route your inbound calls right to your existing phones… perhaps your office lines during business hours and your cell phone or other designated numbers during the evenings or weekends. It’s fast and easy. We have an available service that allows you to go into your own password protected control panel and change your “ring-to” target number(s) on the fly. Back to top

7. Do I have to notify my local phone company about my new toll-free service?
No. Our vanity toll-free service is a separate service that we will set up to ring to any local telephone number you choose. Your local telephone company will not be aware of your vanity toll-free service. Back to top

8. What telephonic services does Vanity 800 Toll-Free provide?
Beyond our wide assortment of quality toll-free numbers, we provide Intelligent Call Routing through TeleSmart’s “SmartECR” network. Available services include real-time call detail Tracking, Call Recording, Reverse Look-Up’s to secure caller’s addresses, Online Report Delivery, and much more. Other popular services at nominal up-charges include: Call Capture, Follow-Me, Predictive Dialing, Dealer and Call Center interaction applications based on menus and databases and much more.  Please click on our Call Routing tab at the top to learn more. Back to top

9. Why do many of the vanity numbers you have listed have more then 7 letters?
Only the first seven digits register in the phone system. It doesn’t matter if the caller dials the extra digit(s) or not. You still receive the call. As an example, Chrysler uses 1-800-Jeep Eagle, which has extra letters.

12. What if I have two or three locations in a single market…or multiple sales people?
Our Call Routing options will take care of your needs, no matter how sophisticated they may be. You can choose to have your calls ring rotationally to multiple sales people. Or, you can have calls ring into the location closest to the caller or have all calls ring to a single location. We can even divide out 3-digit prefixes, counties or zip codes within your area codes, at nominal charges. Back to top

13. If I already have a toll-free number, can I get another toll-free number from Vanity800TollFree.com to ring to the same line?
Yes. You can have 2 or more toll-free numbers! The new toll-free number can ring to the same line as the old toll-free number so you can let previous customers use the old 800 number and you can use the new 800 number for future business. Or, you may want to differentiate your promotions by utilizing separate toll-free numbers for different product lines, special advertising and PR promotions, fax lines, sales lines, customer service lines, etc. Back to top

14. When I sell my business can I transfer the rights I have in the number to the buyer?

16. Can Vanity 800 Toll Free get me a matching domain name for the Web for my 800 number?
You bet! We have extensive experience in securing domain names as well as Web design and search engine marketing. Please note that many of our numbers already have matching domains. This gives a “turn-key” opportunity to companies desiring to get off to a fast start with a hot phone number and matched domain name set.Back to top

17. How many members will each marketing number have across the nation? 
Because each member has an exclusive market area, each vanity number only has room for approximately 100-150 members. Just to give you an idea, there are in excess of 1 million attorneys in the U.S. According to the World Health Organization, there are over 1.5 million doctors in the U.S. At a maximum, only about 100-150 of each of these will be fortunate enough to be advertising with a specific Vanity 800 Toll-Free power number. You’ll be joining an exclusive network. Back to top

18. How long is the Agreement? Can I ever be cancelled or lose the number?
Also, how am I protected from future monthly fee increases? Relax! Your commitment is short-term. Due to our modest fee structure, we require a three-month initial commitment. Then your commitment is month-to-month automatically renewing unless YOU cancel it. We bill in monthly increments...by automatic credit card debit monthly or by corporate check for our larger accounts. We can never cancel you unless you stop paying your bill. Your exclusive number is yours to keep for as long as you desire. You can invest in your power number with confidence. Our cancellation policy is simple too. We simply require 30 day’s written notice. Our short-term commitments should place you at ease. As for fee increases, you are contractually protected so that your monthly fee will not increase during the first two years, and after that no increase can ever be more than 5% a year. And we have yet to increase fees! Back to top

19. How long does it take for a Vanity 800 Toll Free Number to be activated once I have selected it?
Once you have placed your order with us, we can usually activate your exclusive number the same day…or certainly within a day or two. In simple applications, we often can get your number “turned on” in minutes! Back to top

20. What are the costs?
Surprisingly affordable…as little as $49 Monthly for many markets! Our fees are dependent upon: (1.) The specific vanity number you select; (2.) The size / population / buying power of your market(s); and (3.) The number of area codes you license. We offer deep discounts for larger market areas. Call today, and let’s discuss your needs. We’ll surprise you with our pricing! Or, provide us a written quote and we should be able to meet or beat it.

You’ll love this: They are billed at 11.9 9.9 7.9 6.9 only 5.0 cents per minute! Compare these line charges with the competition! Back to top
