Get a free 1-800 number with your live answering account

We offer all our answering service clients a toll free phone number to use with their account. Generally this is an 866 or 877 number. However, if you want a true 800 number, we can provide one for a small additional fee.

Having a live virtual receptionist plan to go with your toll free number means you’re always prepared for your inbound calls. And our answering service plans are much more affordable than hiring in-house employees to answer your business’ new 1-800 number.

Why your business needs a 1-800 number

Having a toll free phone number for your business helps your business look more professional. If you only have a local phone number, customers outside your local area may be discouraged from doing business with you. They may think they’re too far away to buy your products and services, or that they can find a better option closer to them.

A 1-800 number gives your customers one easy way to get in touch with you, whether they’re around the corner or across the world. Best of all, we can still give you a local number to use for your customers in your immediate area. You can forward that local number to your 1-800 number, so our virtual receptionists receive all your calls and can deliver the great experience your customers expect.

Adding extra phone numbers for sub-accounts

Many of our clients maintain several toll-free 800 phone numbers for different sub-accounts. These may be separate companies managed through a single AnswerConnect account, or they may be different departments within the same business, such as marketing and operations

However you choose to organize your live answering service account, we can get you the toll free numbers you need at a reasonable cost.
