If you have a toll free number for your company, it definitely helps. Customers are more likely to call a toll free number to place an order or to know more about the products and services offered by the company.
Tollfreenumber.org, a provider of toll free number services, has recently released some statistics about the usage of cell phones and toll free numbers on their web site. According to the company, the popularity of 800 toll free numbers is only growing.
Logan Marshall, founder of Tollfreenumber.org, revealed that, last year, 800 was the most common area code dialed from mobile phones. This is good news for the small business owner, and they should make haste to get a toll free number soon, Marshall advises. As the popularity of these services grows, 800 numbers are quickly depleting as more and more small business owners are lapping them up. Making matters worse, new toll free area codes will not be coming at least until the end of 2014.
Tollfreenumber.org provides customized toll free numbers to companies looking to offer easy contact information to potential customers. The company has more than 100,000 members, whose toll free numbers serve to help them to concentrate more on their business and less on the government regulations and paperwork.
“800 is by-far the most dialed area code from Verizon Wireless (News - Alert) mobile phones in the United States," says Marshall. "That speaks volumes about just how effective toll free numbers still are, even though certain toll free number critics might claim that they are outdated. Given that 800 numbers are still the most dialed area code from cell phones today, businesses of all sizes should take note and grow to understand how having a toll free number can be of benefit to them.”
Recently, the company unveiled a search tool that enables users to quickly find a vanity toll-free number from various toll free numbers.
