What’s the phone number of the restaurant which delivers the perfect rib eye steak? Is that 1-800-65-STEAK? What’s the phone number of the bakery wherein you may have rush order of beautiful birthday cakes…that is 1-888-456-CAKE, right?
As you can see most businesses have the best toll free numbers, special numbers or vanity numbers because of the primary reason that it is easy to remember. This is vital to every business since number recall is important for a business to thrive. People call the number that first comes to their mind and that means more sales. More customers would mean more income.
You would notice that every multimillion dollar company has their own toll free number like 1800-DIRECTV for satellite TV service or 1-800-MY – APPLE for inquiries on the latest MAC books or I phone 4s. As a business owner, that alone should already convince you that it is a MUST to have a toll free number.
It doesn’t mean that if big companies have it, toll free numbers are expensive to maintain. On the average, the monthly service ranges from $10 - $20. There is a number of incoming minutes included in every package and when your company or business receives more calls than expected then an overage rate or per minute rate will be charged to you.
One of the most reasonable packages which I found is from eVoice. At $29.95, you already have 1.000 minutes included in the package. This is great value for your money. Just in case you exceed 1,000 minutes, the per minute rate is just 3.9 cents. The features are not just limited to having a phone number but you get the best features any business would need like auto attendant, conference calling, multiple extensions, call transfer, call routing, voicemail to text transcription and a whole lot more.
