- Free phone numbers: These are 800 numbers and are free of charge for the caller. An 800 number gives your company a national image and can increase your incoming calls by 300%. You can get an 800 number at My800online.com.
- Lo-call numbers: These are local numbers where the caller is billed as if they were making a local phone call and your business makes up the difference.
- National rate numbers: These are numbers which can generate money for your company. Every time a customer calls they are billed a national rate and your business receives a part of that money.
- Alphanumeric numbers: These are numbers which spell out names on the phone. If you would like a unique vanity number for your business, you can go to Branded800.com.
