Why a vanity number is worth having
-
It sticks. Customers remember 1-800-YOUR-NAME long after they’ve forgotten a random ten digits.
-
It makes ads and signage pay off. On a truck, a billboard, a yard sign, or a radio spot, an easy number gets called.
-
It looks established. A toll-free or branded local number signals a business that’s here to stay.
-
It’s trackable. Use different numbers for different campaigns and see exactly which ones bring in calls.
Local or toll-free? Which fits you?
Local vanity numbers are best for businesses that serve a specific area and want to feel like part of the community. Customers see a familiar area code and trust that you’re nearby.
Toll-free numbers (800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, 833) are best for businesses serving multiple cities or states, or those that want a national presence. Many businesses use both: a local number for their market and a toll-free number for everyone else.

FAQs
Can I use a toll-free number with my current phone system, like Verizon One Talk?
Yes. Toll-free and local vanity numbers can both be integrated in to your existing phone system, whether it is Office Communications VoIP, Verizon One Talk, or any other system.
How long does it take?
New numbers are typically active within 1 business day. Porting an existing number usually takes 7-10 business days, and we keep your service running during the move.
What if the number I want is taken?
We’ll look for close variations, alternate toll-free prefixes (800 vs. 888 vs. 877 and so on), and similar local options.
