Toll-Free calling

Toll-free calling lets someone, usually a customer, call your organization free of charge. With toll-free calling, users can contact businesses and individuals in different geographies without being charged for a long-distance call. 

Toll-free numbers are often 1-800 numbers, but they also include 877, 866, 855, 844, and 833. Vanity numbers are also a type of toll-free number to power toll-free calling. In most cases, the organization that owns the toll-free number incurs the cost of toll-free calling. 

What are the benefits of toll-free calling?

Toll-free numbers are a business staple for businesses small and large, local or global. Let’s explore five benefits of toll-free calling for businesses (and their customers). 

1. Better customer experience. Toll-free calling allows end users and customers to reach your business without worrying about the cost of a long-distance call. 
2. Brand awareness. The right toll-free number can make your business more memorable. 
3. Credibility. Toll-free numbers are useful for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) because they can help your organization appear more established and trustworthy.
4. Local presence. You can have a toll-free number for calling in geographies you don’t actually work in. This lets you establish a local presence with your target markets, without physically being there. 
5. High-quality calling. The right toll-free services provider can help take your calling globally and integrate directly into your contact center platform.
