Toll Free Service Turns Cell
Phones Into Biz Phones
You'll never miss a sales
or service opportunity when you add inbound toll free service
to your cellular phone.
Could you use a cell phone that
has a toll free number? By that I mean a 800, 866, 877, 888 prefix
instead of your area code. With such a phone, you'd pay for the
call when someone phones you long distance. In a way, you'd be
bribing them to call you because it would be free to them. Anyone
you'd like to bribe? How about customers from your advertising,
potential agents for your business or someone just wanting more
information before they make a buying decision.
Customers and Prospects Expect
a Toll Free Number
Toll free numbers have long been a staple of business. Customers
have come to expect a toll free number for placing orders, calling
customer service or just getting more information. If the number
isn't toll free, they may think twice about making the call.
Instead, they look around for someone who does have a toll free
number.
Easy Way To Track Advertising
Performance
Some toll free numbers are set up just to support an ad campaign.
Say you are running radio, TV, print, or flyer ads and want to
know how well they are working. You could set up a special post
office box and wait for the mail to come in. But if you want
fast, impulsive response a phone call is much better. You may
even be running several ads at once, each with a different toll
free number. Just get the call reports and you can see at a glance
which ad is pulling better.
The Solution for Independent
Agents
Now if you could just get a toll free cell number on your cell
phone, you'd never miss a business opportunity. This is especially
true if you are a real estate agent, independent insurance salesperson
or are involved in network marketing. Being able to take the
call immediately can often spell the difference between gaining
a customer and having them look elsewhere. What if you could
get a toll free number on your cell phone and not even have to
change phones? You can.
How Follow-Me Toll Free Service
Works
There is a toll free service called "follow me" that
gives you a toll free telephone number that works anywhere in
the U.S. and Canada. You set it to "ring to" whatever
phone is most convenient. That's your ring-to number. It can
be a landline phone at home or in your office. It can also be
your cell phone. Best of all, you can change that ring-to number
anytime you like. If you are in an office all day, have your
toll free number ring to your desk phone. When you leave, change
it to ring to your cell phone. Or just let it ring to your cell
phone all the time.
Includes Voice Mail and FAX
to Email
This toll free service also gives you voice mail so that works
just like an answering machine. If you don't pick up your phone,
the caller can leave a message. They can also leave a FAX. How
do you get a FAX from your voice mail? The system sends it to
your email. It will also send your voice messages to your email
so you can listen to them on your computer, even at the coffee
shop.
Detailed Reporting Included
Whether you choose to have a single toll free number or a bunch
of them, you get a detailed online report that shows who called,
when they called, where they called from, how long the call was
and how much it cost. Caller ID support is part of the system.
All this data will come in handy for analyzing the effectiveness
of your ads and for tax records. For a small extra fee, you can
ask the system to look up the addresses of your callers so you
can send them a follow-up mailer if you wish.
So Affordable You Can Have
As Many As You Want
So how much does all this sophistication cost? Service starts
at just $2 to set up a number and $2 a month to keep it active.
Any calls that come in are billed at 6.9 cents per minute from
the US 48 states and most of Canada. That includes all the service
features mentioned, plus the ability to call out using the service
as a virtual calling card at the same rates. You'll only pay
more to forward your calls overseas, set up advanced services
like an automated attendant, or to be more choosy about the toll
free number you pick. Some vanity numbers can get pricey, but
may be worth having because they are easier for customers to
remember.
