TOLL FREE NUMBERS NOT JUST FOR BUSINESSES
I used to think that Toll Free Numbers were only for large corporations and businesses, oh yes, and of course telemarketing agencies. When I went away to school, my mother wanted me to call her all the time. I really didn't want her calling the dorm, too embarrassing to have mommy calling every day, and my cell phone bill was going through the roof. On weekend, when I was home I sat down and talked with Mom about it, and she suggested that we look online and consider getting a toll free number, so I could call her from anywhere with none of those annoying collect call charges, those really add up. I got online and found a lot of good information at tollfreenumber.ORG . On this site I found out that my mother didn't have to change her home phone number or anything, she just had to pay for a toll free number, and then I could call her right on her home phone from anywhere with only a minimal fee. I told my mom about it, and she told me to go ahead and set it up for her. It was so simple to set up, and mom thought that she could also use this number for her home business that she had and then it wouldn't cost her out of state customers anything to call her. She even went so far as to have both numbers printed on her business cards.
Now we are using the 1-866 number that my mother has and it is working out great, neither of us is paying a lot of money and we get to talk to each other all the time. Mom feels more secure in knowing that I can reach her from anywhere at anytime of day, but just simply dialing the toll free number, which has significantly cut back on the number of times she is calling me. That is really good news, because at 19 who wants their mommy calling them everywhere they go? Mom also says that she is receiving more phone calls about her business than ever before. She says that using the 1-866 number makes her seem like a bigger business and her customers really seem to like that.
Overall, using this service has provided us both with benefits and I am really glad that I found tollfreenumber.ORG.
