Real estate is rebounding. A report on this morning’s NBC news indicated that house “flipping” is up and the market is growing. In the Miami region, thousands of empty new condos have been sold in recent weeks. And realtors are getting creative and using toll free to connect with homebuyers, realtors and to track markets. The partners in Hobson Group Realty launched an online “store” which offers a range of plans to assist people in buying and selling a home. Options include a commission-free strategy, where clients pay a monthly or one-time fee for services; or the traditional commission based on a percentage of the sale price. Home sellers and agents can also select tailored advertising in local publications. The venture is able to track advertising. It also uses a toll free phone number and can supply reports on the locations of each incoming call to help target promotions.

Just how many quality custom toll free phone numbers remain available for new subscribers? This is a question that pops up frequently and an issue of constant concern for those of us in the telecommunications industry. With a limited number of numerical possibilities and increased interest in obtaining the remaining toll free phone numbers, the supply could eventually be gone. But the good news is two-fold. First, there are still providers that can supply a good custom number with any of the four area codes (800, 888, 877 and 866) and there is an anticipated turn-about within the next year or so. New numbers (the new 855 area codes) are expected to be released to replenish supplies.

What are your thoughts on this? We’d like to hear.

Stories about people getting caught trying to illegally broker valuable toll free phone numbers are rampant and not only is the FCC and other agencies paying close attention, so are we. There are strict guidelines over the distribution and use of toll free phone numbers. But with supplies so limited, people are desperate for this remarkable marketing tool. And so others prey on the need. But if new toll free area codes were released, supplies would increase and these improper practices would diminish. The way to stop this is two-fold: increased FCC crackdown and the release of 855 numbers.
