800 Services Are Easy To Get And Offer Many Service Options
Subscribing to a toll free number today is a cake walk. Not only can you avail of a 7-day free trial, but you will only be charged on your credit card if you choose to upgrade to a regular subscription. During this 7-day free trial, you will get 30-minutes to use the 800 service, as you wish. You could cancel the offer at any time by calling the customer service unit of the service provider. In case you wish to continue with the subscription, your toll free number automatically gets upgraded on the 8th day. If you use more than those 30 minutes allotted to you, you could upgrade your account manually as well as online options.
While there is no set-up fee for the installation of a toll free number, today, the 800 service can offer multiple facilities like 800 voice mail, international calls to and from 800 numbers, vanity numbers, call forwarding, automated answering, virtual office, and other business services. There is no usage commitment that you have to make to the service provider, though paying in advance for annual subscription allows a substantial discount, going up to 33%. You could cancel your 800 service subscription any time, without paying any penalty charges.
Today there is enough flexibility and leverage available to a 800 service customer in terms of changing service providers without changing the toll free number; free choice of vanity numbers, etc. You simply have to make sure that you have availed of at least a month’s service from a single provider, before changing to another, and your account is active, before you make a request for a change over.
If you wish to check the availability of a vanity 800 number, to give that extra boost to your business, simply contact your service provider who will provide you with a list of numbers available. Usually there is a $30 fee for setting up a vanity number. You can make or receive calls from any 1 800 phone number. The international 800 numbers are available with the option of forwarding your calls to any international number. Imagine a situation where you live in New York and wish to do business in Chicago. You want Chicago customers to call you on your vanity toll free number. Would you use a Chicago local number or a toll free number? The answer to this question would be: it all depends on your needs. If you want to appear ‘local’ to your Chicago customers, you could choose a local Chicago number. If this is not an important issue in your business, you could go on using a toll free number, or a vanity 800 number, which could forward your inbound calls to wherever you are. Service providers can also leave an alert of any 800 voice mail to your cell phone via text message. You could then access your toll free number account and listen to the 800 voice mail message anytime convenient to you. You could also immediately reply or get connected to the calling customer, simply by dialing a specific number. Keeping in touch has never been easier!
