Among the many benefits of signing on for toll free phone service are the many unique features available. Calls can be routed to an any other phone line and faxes can be routed to email. These state-of-the-art features are not available from most typical phone service providers. When choosing toll free service, subscribers can select from a menu of services—phone calls routed to land lines, faxes, emails etc. and a variety of other features that suit their needs and their budget. Once a number is assigned, it stays with the owner permanently. If a company grows or moves locations, the numbers goes with them, safeguarding the connection to all their customers. Just be sure to deal with a reputable, credentialed service provider.
