5 Things to Know About Cheap Toll Free Numbers
1. How do I get a cheap toll free number?
When it comes to getting toll free numbers, there are tons of options. The trick is to find a phone company (like Unitel) that offers free toll-free numbers with low-priced toll-free service. Some companies will sell you the number, but then you must find a toll-free service provider to host the number at a monthly fee. Unitel allows you to pick a toll free number (at no setup cost) and then choose a cheap plan for ongoing service. It also includes all the features you need to make running your business easier (again, at no extra cost).
2. Why are toll free numbers so cheap with Unitel?
In the early 90s, the big business phone company monopolies were forced to break up, and the FCC created the concept of Resp Orgs (Responsible Organizations) in the toll-free industry. Once phone companies were forced to compete in the 800 toll free numbers market, small businesses could get an affordable toll free number at a much lower rate due to the competition. And as voice-over-internet protocols advanced and locally hosted business phone systems moved to the cloud, small businesses could not only get cheap 800 numbers. They got toll-free service plans with all the quality and features they needed from traditional business phone systems baked right into their plan.
3. How do I get a cheap toll free number for my cell phone?
Perhaps you just started your business or launched a new website and don’t want to mess around with getting a complicated/expensive business phone system just quite yet. With Unitel, you can dial a toll-free number by signing up online (less than 2 mins) and instantly forward it to your cell phone. You can add features like greetings, extensions, and voicemail when ready. No pressure. We’re also here to help you set things up if needed.
4. Can I pay a one-fee for my number and transfer it to my cell phone service provider?
For toll free numbers to work, you need toll free service. Your cell phone provider is not a toll-free service provider. However, if you already have a toll-free service provider, you can purchase a number outright from Unitel and transfer it. This might make sense if you use a complicated custom phone system and don’t need Unitel’s service or are currently under contract with a phone company. However, you’ll often find that Unitel is the cheapest toll-free service option.
5. How do I get a cheap vanity 800 number?
There are three types of vanity toll free number providers: 1) Phone companies that rent 800 numbers. These companies are expensive but usually have a few premium numbers like 1-800-Dentist etc. 2) Toll free number “brokers”. These are typically marketing companies that help you find a great vanity number for a finder fee (sometimes, it can get expensive). Then you must transfer the number to an actual phone company of your choice. 3) Virtual phone system providers (like Unitel) that allow you to search the National Toll Free Number Database of available numbers, sign up for the number, and use it on one of many affordable toll-free service plans. One thing to note, however, true 800 numbers are hard to find because they have been around the longest. If you want a good vanity number that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, try searching for one in a newer toll-free prefix like 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, or the most recently released 833 numbers.
Getting a Cheap Toll Free Number Doesn’t Mean You’re Getting Poor Quality
Unitel offers startups and small businesses super affordable toll free number service with all the bells and whistles you need to stay connected and sound professional – at no extra cost. How do we offer the cheapest toll free number service and still provide customers with amazing call quality and business phone system features? The answer is the cloud.
Years ago, phone calls had to be carried over physical copper wire lines, and business phone systems (PBX systems) were hosted locally in your business’s phone closet. Also, only a handful of phone companies, like AT&T or Verizon, provided businesses with 1-800 numbers at the time. Then the world changed. The big telecoms were broken up. Competition and innovation pushed technology forward, and Unitel is a result. Now toll free number service and business phone systems are hosted in the cloud and accessible from your smartphone app.
