Toll Free Numbers

There a number of different calling plans and phones available on the market today for individuals and families to choose from. One of these is the option to utilize a toll free phone number, which many people are doing due to the fact they are comparable in cost to other options and they offer many of the same features traditional phones and mobile phones offer.

One of the main features of any phone is voicemail, and toll free numbers can provide this feature. You can choose to access the voicemail through the toll free number or phone where you receive your call. Some toll free numbers also offer the option to have any voicemail automatically converted into a .wav file on your computer and sent directly to your email without you having to do anything.

Call forwarding and call screening are also features that are available with a toll free number. Call screening allows you to see whose calling and disregard any unwanted calls you receive, while call forwarding allows you to forward calls to another phone or number.

There are additional features that toll free numbers can provide that most other phones don't. Auto attendant is a common feature for toll free numbers, as it provides an automated message or greeting any time the toll free number is dialed. Messages can be programmed in to say different things and rotate. Toll free numbers can also provide music and spoken words to individuals when you have placed them on hold. This can be especially beneficial if you are a business, as you can use it to provide free advertising to customers while they are on hold with you.

One of the unique features of toll free numbers is the follow me feature that is available through certain companies. This allows you to send your toll free phone number to several different phones in whatever order you decide. For example, the toll free number can be directed to your office phone. If you don't answer after a specified number of rings, such as three, it will then be transferred to the next phone you choose, such as your home phone or cell phone. If you don't answer it after a specified number of rings, it will then forward the call on to another phone you've chosen. This process can continue through eleven different phones.

If you are interested in expanding the number of calling features you have, consider using a toll free phone number. They not only offer the features of most landline phones and mobile phones, but they also provide features you can't find with any other phone or calling plan.
