800 Numbers can be a strong tool for businesses and organizations of all types and sizes to utilize to get ahead in the competitive environments of today. Most of us know that 800 numbers offer customers and clients a speedy, easy and free way to contact companies and organizations. When customers make a telephone call on these numbers, they are not billed for the call, but rather the organization or company hosting the number.

Dependant upon the entire telecommunication package it signs up for, a business or organization will be billed for each incoming toll free call an amount that is calculated by factors such as call volume and lengths of calls. Clearly, it is not in the interest of any person, business or organization to simply just give away money for no reason whatsoever, so obviously, the companies and organizations that are using 800 numbers instead of standard local numbers are doing so because they have determined that offering their clients and customers a way to contact them toll free is in the end a way to increase their bottom lines.

Though, probably each and every one of us has called 800 numbers at some time in our lives since organizations have been using them since the 1960's, the new form of toll free numbers that are offered by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service providers are new and improved. VoIP bundles offering toll-free numbers offer all types and sizes of businesses and organizations many useful and powerful cost saving features. These features include inbound faxing, web interfaces, hunt groups, traditional voicemail and visual voicemail, automatic attendant capability, rule-based messaging, and blacklisting capability.

Not everyone of these new features that come bundled with packages offering 800 numbers are well known, nor even easy to understand at first glimpse Though faxing has been around for decades; the new type of faxing included in these new packages is something altogether new since it incorporates email accounts into the faxing process.

Whilst a hunt group is something that nearly no one has even heard of, and fewer understand. A 800 numbers hunt group is the pre-routing of incoming calls to specific internal numbers, groups or lists. When set up, hunt groups pre-route inbound calls. An example of this is if someone calls a marketing executive who happens to not be in, the call gets directed to her assistant. Obviously, this is a very crucial feature for businesses and organizations that have large staffs and a high volume of incoming calls.

If you are in charge of managing a young company and want to get it off the ground in a hurry or are just trying to improve on an existing business, you should check out the numerous benefits available to you through the integration of toll free 800 numbers. It doesn't really matter how small or how large your business is, if you were to have a number like this, you would have a wonderful tool for allowing your customers to contact you more easily, establishing an identity in the business world, and many other things.

One of the primary reasons to have a number like this at all is so that your customers can get in touch with you when they need you, and the fact that the number is toll free encourages your customers to go ahead and make that call. As long as your customers have a simple way to get a hold of you and discuss whatever questions they have about your goods or services or to place an order, it is much more likely that they will be able to establish a trust in your company and be pleased enough to continue to business with you.

People have actually come to expect a reputable business to have its own toll free number, which means that having one of these numbers could actually help you establish a certain level of credibility for your small business. You don't have to be the owner of a big corporation to have a toll free number, but as long as you do happen to have one, many of your customers would probably think of your company on the same level as those corporations, even if you work from home.

Having one of these numbers isn't just about making it easier for your customers to reach you, because they can also make it much less difficult for you to reach your customers, through billboards, directory listings, commercials and more. One great way to market your business through your telephone number is by getting a witty vanity number, like 1-800-MYPIZZAS for a delivery pizza restaurant, which can make your number simple to remember and solidify your presence for many consumers.

Business owners who hope to get the attention and respect they demand from their consumer base should not be without 800 numbers. A toll free number might help you transform your small business into a large and profitable one as long as you know how to put it to good use.
