If you haven’t already heard about it, the FCC is releasing the 855 prefix for toll-free numbers on October 2, 2010. Since none of those numbers are currently taken, numbers like 855-Call-Now or 855-855-8558 should be available. All of the 855 numbers — all 7+ million of them — will be available for reservation on October 2nd, all at once. When that happens, every company that has access to the nationwide toll-free number database will reserve as many numbers as they can, as fast as they can.
Since Virtual PBX has direct access to the nationwide toll-free database, you can get in line to have us make a grab for your numbers of choice on your behalf. And unlike many other toll-free number ordering services, we charge nothing to place orders for up to 25 numbers, and only $25/each for the numbers successfully reserved for you. Now’s the time to try for a special toll-free number that’s always been unavailable in the past. An opportunity like this doesn’t come around very often.
To place an order, click here and enter your request. Again, the first 25 attempts are free, just $2 each after that, and only $25 for each number successfully reserved. Other companies are marking up these numbers to make a huge profit. VirtualPBX is just trying to give our customers what they want.

Why Use Toll-Free Numbers
There could be a very long list of reasons why a business or person would use a toll-free number. However, one could narrow it down three general reasons::
Visibility: If you want to show a local presence, then market your local number so your callers know that you’re local to them. Small to medium sized businesses typically fall into this category. However, if you are marketing your services to customers that are not within your local area, then a toll-free number is the best way to go.
Protect Your Branding: get your company name or the toll-free version of your local number. In the case of this post, get the 855- version of your current toll-free numbers
Polite to Consumer: it essentially rolls out the red carpet to the caller, letting them know that they can call you from where ever they are for no cost to them.
Convenience: With no cost to the caller, it’s very convenient for the caller to dial a toll-free number. Sometimes people with kids in college or family members living outside the immediate area will get a low-cost toll-free number strictly for the convenience of communication. With toll-free, it reduces the excuses for not calling!
With that information in mind, now’s the time to get your 855 number. Remember, in order to place an order, click here and enter your request. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know at 888-825-0800, option 1 for Sales.
