What is a vanity number?
A vanity number uses the letters on the phone keypad to spell a word or phrase, like 1-800-PLUMBER. It's the same number every time, just far easier to say, remember, and share.
Go big with a toll-free 1-800 line, or keep it close to home with your local area code. Either way, you pick the word that fits your business and we help you find one that's open. No tech to figure out.

Why it helps
The average person sees around 10,000 ads a day, so standing out is tough. A number customers can actually remember cuts through the noise and turns more of that attention into calls you get.
A word beats seven random digits every time. Customers recall your number the first time they hear it, no card or Google search needed.
A memorable number turns every truck, billboard, and radio spot into a call. People remember it long after the ad is gone.
A polished 1-800 line makes a one-person shop sound like a national brand. Customers trust a business that looks the part.
Happy customers can pass your number along from memory. Word of mouth travels further when there's nothing to write down.
Reach the whole country with a 1-800 number, or stay close to home with your area code. Pick the reach that fits your business.
Screening, call routing, voicemail-to-text, and professional greetings all come built in on the very same line. Nothing extra to bolt on.

FAQ
What exactly is a vanity number?
It's a phone number that spells a word or phrase using the letters on the keypad, like 1-800-PLUMBER. It works like any other number when dialed, it's just far easier for customers to remember and share.
Should I get a toll-free or a local vanity number?
Depends on your reach. A toll-free number (like 1-800 or 1-888) makes you look national and costs the caller nothing. A local vanity number keeps a hometown feel with your area code. Not sure which fits? Give us a call and we'll help you decide.
Can I turn my current number into a vanity number?
Sometimes, if your existing digits already spell something useful. More often we'll set up a new vanity number and point it to wherever you take calls now, so you keep your current line and gain a memorable one. We'll walk you through the options.
What if the number I want is already taken?
It happens, the best words go fast. We'll find close alternatives that still spell your business well, or try different toll-free prefixes and local area codes until we land on one you love. You won't have to do the searching.
