Looking For Someone With A Vanity Number Background

[EPOCHDOMAINS]

I'm looking for someone with a 1.800 vanity number background. Specially in the area of shared use platforms.

800 block may be full for almost every vanity number, you may be lucky in 888, better in 877 and the best in 855. Are you trying to forward calls to a land line or it be your primary phone number?

844 numbers are coming very soon, in case you are looking for vanity numbers already taken in the other 'extensions'.

 

[EPOCHDOMAINS]

In order to create instant and spontaneous consumer re-call. It must be the 1-800 number extension. The lost call volume of any other extension. 1.888, 1.877, 1.866, 1.855 is as high as 90 precent. I am specifically looking for someone whom has experience in the vanity number " shared used " space.

You're just going to have to deal with there being nothing left and getting lucky with 1-800-782-EPOC(H) or 1-800-9EP-OCH8. There simply aren't any available anymore unless you want to pay big bucks. (Kinda like domaining )

You would have to go through numerous available numbers, converting them to possible alpha phrases and then go with that- or buy one. An example would be 1-800-636-0000 (easy to remember) for $588/month. Easy to remember, no need to scribble it down off a truck while driving, get more business. If you have that budget, go memorable like that. If not, get any 1-800 you can (with possible repeating numbers) and just stick a caller ID on it. If the one above is out of your price range, try getting words or exact phrases.

Good luck

Mike,

I own dozens of vanity numbers such as 1.800.AZ.HOMES, 1.800.TN.HOMES, 1.800.WASH.PLUS and so on. I'm seeking someone with " shared use " vanity number platform experience and your right. A premium 1.800 vanity number today is often in the 6 figure range.

So what are you asking? What platforms can be used to create VoIP services with the numbers that you have in order to get unlimited extensions, call forwarding, etc. (Phone.com can and is relatively cheap) or a call center switching software like Avaya? Or are you looking to sell/acquire these numbers (most likely the wrong forum for that)?

Mike,

Your points have little to do with vanity number shared use / call routing platforms. That's what I'm interested in.

Why do you keep calling me Mike? And my last post is spot on with shared use (extensions forwarded to any number, Phone.com Communicator) or routing in a call center with Avaya.

 

[EPOCHDOMAINS]

The term "Share use" is utilizing a vanity number and spitting access over hundreds of area codes and then leasing the vanity number to these users.

You would need Avaya for that (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1671809). You can select area code 360 to route to Business X in Seattle, WA and 503 to Business Y in Portland, OR for lets say 1-800-DUI-(LAWY)ER. Phone.com does not have support for area code routing. As far as finding businesses to lease these numbers to, that would be through advertising and is not a specialty that I have, except for the Avaya platform.

There are some independent resporgs that should be able to provide advanced routing services, but personally I think you can do it yourself
by leasing a virtual PBX, then set up custom forwarding rules. Could be an Asterisk job strictly, but I need to dig more.
I'm assuming you will be using a pure VOIP solution.
