What is a vanity number?
A vanity number is a toll-free number combination with alphanumeric equivalents. A word or phrase is formed by the toll-free number combination which usually describes the products of services it offers or the name of the brand itself, making the number more memorable.
How do toll-free numbers work?
A toll-free number is an assigned set of numbers where a call is placed to. After a call is made to a toll free number, the call will then be forwarded to the local number of the company. For example, if a small business would like to have a toll-free number, the owners can apply for one and have it redirected to their home, office, or mobile phone. As a business grows, the owners can add more lines to which the toll-free number call can be redirected. In this situation, the toll-free number not only allowed flexibility for the business but it also made it look more professional and reputable.
Can I use more than the usual 7 digits?
Yes, 7 to 10 digits could be used in the formation of a toll-free number even though the digits after the 7th one are ignored by the phone company. This provides flexibility to buyers depending on your market or brand. You may use our consultation services to get advice whether taking a longer number will be better for the sake of forming words or phrases or keeping it to 7-digits for convenience in dialing.
