Innovative uses of toll free numbers

The company or person who owns the phone does not even have to know that a toll free number is attached to the phone. Of course, you still pay for the calls, but that could be a real asset to you.

	1. If grandma has a toll free number on her phone, her granddaughter can call her from college and you can pay the bill. But the granddaughter does not have a travel card to call her boy friend and talk for an hour each night.
	2. A toll free number on your own phone allows your son to call you when he is off at college
3. Carrying on a long distance romance and you don't have a job? Ask your sweetheart to put a toll free number on her/his phone and (s)he can pay for the calls that you make. Of course, if you want to continue to be a sweetheart, be sure the toll free service is economical.
4. Do you travel in your job while your spouse stays home? Call your toll free number from your hotel room and save. Or your place of employment is far enough from your home that it is long distance to call your spouse. Calling home is cheaper with a toll free number than with a calling card, even ours!
5. As part of your business, do you have to have your customers call a long distance number? Put a toll free number on the number and save your customer the expense of the long distance call and they will be much more willing to make that call.
6. Does your business require you to contact them from your client's residence or business office? Instead of using a cumbersome credit card, or pay the rate they charge you for the call, put your own toll free number on the line you need to call, and from any phone you can take advantage of our low rates.
7. Do you have a local Internet Service Provider that does not have a nationwide number? Put a toll free number on it and use it when you are on the road instead of your calling card or their toll free number which you pay for at their rates.
8. You operate your business from your lap top computer and use a cellular modem to connect to distant telephones - for example your employer's telephone. Put a toll free number on the line to make the connection.
9. You use AOL and they do not have a local number for you to call because you live in a remote area. They can provide you with an 800 number to use, for which you pay their rates. Put your own 800 number on one of their lines and connect using our low rate, not theirs!
10. You operate a business and have set up an advertising campaign. Use a different toll free number in each ad, all ringing to the same telephone. When you receive your monthly bill you will know which ad brought the most responses!
11. You are a full time RVer. Put a toll free number on each of your kid's phones and you can keep in touch with them wherever you travel. Click here if you're an RVer and want some other suggestions for your telephone service.
12. You want a person (ex-spouse, etc.) or business (E-Bay customer, health plan, etc.) to be able to contact you, but you would rather they not know in what part of the country you live? Give them a toll free number. Yes, you will pay for the call, but you remain hidden.
13. Your children at school need to call home to ask you to bring their lunch or forgotten homework or to pick them up early. They could use your toll free number rather than placing a collect call for a lot less money.
14. The use of a toll free number gives your home business a professional feel. Your clients don't have to know how inexpensive the service is.

You can have as many toll-free numbers that you need. You only pay the cost of the calls that are made with six-second billing. There is small fixed $1.00 monthly fee per number.

If you still think cell phones can provide all the benefits of a land line phone, read this.
