Celebrity Toll Free Number Draws Publicity

While we are amused by all the publicity actor Bill Murray has been receiving over his new personal toll free telephone number, we are not surprised by his decision. Actors, sports figures and celebrities have long used toll free telephone numbers for their professional image. The numbers sometimes ring to staff, sometimes to taped messages, and sometimes directly to their managers and agents. Personal use of toll free service has mushroomed over the past decade and we expect it will continue to grow in popularity.

Families Can Use Toll Free

Having a family is a 24/7 job and no one wants to be wondering where their kids are and if they are in trouble or not. Picture this: Your child says they are going to stay after school and that they will be home in a few hours. A few hours pass and you don’t hear from them – any parent would freak out and be very worried. Later you find out that your child’s ride home had a flat tire and no cell phone reception. Worse yet is that there was a pay phone nearby but no one has change! A stressful situation that could have been easily avoided had you just had a toll free number for your family to use in emergencies…

Personal Toll Free A Popular gift

As we anticipated due to the buzz we heard prior to the holidays, there was a surge in toll free phone numbers given as gifts this holiday season. It appears that toll free phone numbers were mostly given for personal use so that family members and friends could stay in touch. Elderly, grandchildren, college kids and others who will now pay less than they would for long distance and cellular plans. In many instances, the “giver” pays for the subscription for the number and then a portion of, or all of, the monthly bill. And why not? Toll free is so affordable that it is a creative and inexpensive gift to give.

New Numbers A Boon For Personal Numbers Too

The pending turn-around we expect in the toll free phone industry in the next 18 months will not only help businesses–it will also help those looking for new toll free numbers for personal use. The “turn-around” we refer to is the anticipated release of new supplies of toll free numbers. Families and parents seeking their own toll free number will have an ample new supply to obtain creative vanity numbers that incorporate their last names, their street names, pet names or any other memorable phrases so their family and friends always recall their phone number!
