Default Toll Free 1-800 Numbers?

We're thinking about purchasing a Toll Free 1-800 number for our screen printing company. Has anyone used a certain company for this? Thanks guys!

I just talked to AT&T, and they told me If I have a business line it is only $5 a month plus 39cents per min. to add a toll free number, I dont know about other companies as this is the only one I have talked to yet.

Thanks Bobbie. As far as I know, there are tons of companies out there, and I hear the smaller companies (not Verizon and etc.) are cheaper and better. But not sure what those other companies might be, or how reliable (secure) they are. I am also looking into a company that allows toll free numbers to be automatically forwarded to a cell number.

I believe you can do that with att, I asked how it works and they said they just reroute the calls to a forwarding number so that might work

I think I just called my local phone company when I wanted to get my 800 number years ago.

They set it all up for me (or maybe they just directed me to ATT, since that's who I use now).

Once you have the 800#, you can get it billed by whoever you want.

I recommend you also research Skype and other VoIP providers. Some of them offer cheap toll free numbers and you maybe able to forward that number to a landline or moible phone through another carrier. Not 100% sure though.

Good luck.

Thanks guys! We use AT&T + Cingular cell phone services, and verizon business lines (i only give vendors the landline for whatever reason) and will probably go with a AT&T toll free number. Locally, it's $15 a month and 6 cents a minute without a contract, or 5 cents a minute with a 11 month contract.

I'm a GotVMail customer, and quite pleased with it. I can automatically forward calls anywhere, get mp3's of voicemails (Which creates a permanent record of the voicemail) etc, etc, etc.

I forget who I got mine from, but I think I pay 2.9c out of state and 3.9c in state with no monthly fee.

I can't remember the exact breakdown but I pay about $50 a month with Vonage. I have 2 lines and the 800 number that forwards to one of the lines. No complaints at all : ) I was paying more than twice as much without the toll free before I switched.
