Toll Free Numbers

What Is a Toll-Free Number?

Virtual toll-free numbers are phone numbers that begin with the three-digit code (typically known as an area code) 800, 888, 877, or 866. These numbers differ from standard telephone numbers because the charges are paid for by the toll-free number’s subscriber rather than the caller. Today, most businesses maintain toll-free numbers for sales and support communication. These numbers communicate that your business is established, can be trusted, and goes the extra mile to make sure that their customers can always reach them.

Integrate Toll-Free Numbers Into Your Business

Taking advantage of a toll-free number is not only a great option to further brand your business, it also offers a safe and reliable point of contact for your customers! Many prospective customers hesitate before calling numbers outside of their calling area, either they receive overages for calling outside of their range or they’re worried a company far away will not be capable of offering them quality customer service. By offering toll-free numbers, you can potentially boost your sales figures. Also, taking advantage of vanity numbers can prove to play to your benefit as a business by branding your number to your company or services you provide. Utilizing this kind of number will also provide your customers with a free and convenient way to contact you.
