What is a toll-free number?
A toll-free number starts with a code like 800 or 888 instead of a local area code. When someone dials it, the call is free for them, no matter where in the country they're calling from. You cover the cost, and it's pennies a minute.
A toll-free number says you're a serious, established business, not a fly-by-night operation. It's easy to remember, it travels with you for good, and it works the same whether your customer is across town or across the country.

Why it helps
A toll-free number gives your business a national presence and a professional shine, without changing how you work.
That 800 prefix tells customers you're established and here to stay. People trust a toll-free number, even if it's just you running the show.
Calls are free for whoever dials in, so nothing stands between a customer and a "yes." You pick up the small per-minute cost on your end.
No area code boxes you into one city. A toll-free number works the same coast to coast, so you can sell anywhere without sounding "out of town."
Ask for a clean, catchy number or a vanity one that spells your business. The easier it is to remember, the more calls you get.
Your toll-free number stays with you wherever your business goes. Move offices, switch phones, grow a team, the number never changes.
Send calls to your cell, your team, or a friendly menu, with a professional greeting we record for you. Customers feel taken care of from hello.

FAQ
What is a toll-free number, exactly?
It's a business phone number that starts with a code like 800 or 888 instead of a local area code. The big difference: the call is free for whoever dials it, no matter where they're calling from. You cover a small per-minute cost, and your business looks national in the process.
Are 800 numbers still worth it?
More than ever. A toll-free number still signals that you're an established, trustworthy business, and it gives customers a free, easy way to reach you. For a lot of small businesses, that bump in credibility pays for itself.
What's the difference between 800, 888, 877 and the rest?
Nothing that matters to your customers. They're all toll-free and all work the same way. The newer codes (like 855, 844, and 833) simply got added as the older ones filled up. We'll find the best available number for you, whichever code it happens to be.
Can I get a vanity number that spells something?
Usually, yes. A vanity number turns letters into digits, like 1-800-PLUMBER, so people remember it without writing it down. Tell us what you'd love it to spell and we'll see what's available and grab it for you.
Does it cost my customers anything to call?
Nope, that's the whole point. Calls to your toll-free number are free for the person dialing in. You pick up a small per-minute charge on your end, and your included minutes cover most of it.
Can I take my number with me if I switch providers?
Yes. Your toll-free number belongs to you, not to us. If you ever move to another provider, you can take it with you, and if you're coming from somewhere else, you can bring your existing toll-free number over to us. Either way, we handle the transfer paperwork so there's nothing technical for you to sort out.
Can I make international calls?
