want are remote. You will only receive a random number and if you wish, you can tap
into 3rd party resources. There may be a few service provider companies that will
undertake to get you the best 800 number and while they might do that, they will
charge you handsomely for their efforts. While the charges may be in order for larger
corporations, it will not be affordable if you own a small or mid-size business.

customer call volumes. In fact, some studies have shown that a memorable vanity
number can increase your business call volume by over 70%. Please understand your

A vanity number is any phone number that uses the letters on the phone's dialer to spell
out a word or business name. Probably the most obvious use of vanity numbers are with
businesses such as 1-800-FLOWERS, HP (1-800-HP-INVENT) or APPLE (1-800-MY-APPLE).
