FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What services does POWER PHONE NUMBERS provide?

#1 First and foremost, we provide you with a low-cost, memorable vanity toll-free number that S-P-E-L-L-S something. With our state-of-the-art routing technology, we can program the vanity number so you exclusively receive calls from the exact market area you choose.

 

You said exclusively, how does a business know for sure they are getting all the calls that originate within its market area?

The technology requires it. The counties located within your market area are exclusively yours, and all calls originating from those counties will automatically go to you.

 

So the calls to the number from my territory will ring directly to me right on my current phone line?

That is correct, and the routing of the call is invisible to the caller. They dial the vanity number and you answer. It’s that simple.

 

What if I miss a call?

You will get an email after every call showing the time of the call and the phone number that called. This is great for returning missed calls. You will get business from these missed calls if you call them back.

You will also be able to logon to view a detailed call report showing all the details of the calls coming in such as date, time, length of call and phone number that called.

 

Some of the vanity numbers you have listed have more then 7 letters?

Only the first seven digits register. It doesn’t matter if the caller dials the extra digit(s) or not. You still receive the call. Progressive Insurance has been using 1-800-Progressive for years, which has four extra letters.

 

Besides the monthly license fee, are there any other charges?

We do pass along the cost of the minutes. It’s only 5 cents a minute. This will not add up to that much because many times you will be calling your clients back from your local number or cell phone.

 

I already get pretty good results from my ads and word of mouth referrals. Plus, why would I want to pay for a call from someone calling me locally when they could just dial my current number at no cost to me?

If you’re already advertising on the air, in print, yellow pages, or on your vehicles and you aren’t using a vanity telephone number, you aren’t “creating a brand”. You’ve insisted potential customers call you immediately, or that they write your number down for future use, which just isn’t practical in today’s 30-second sound-bite society. Make is easier on your customers by giving them a number they can remember.

 

I can save the monthly license fee by getting a numeric 866/877 from my phone company, why pay more for one of your numbers?

Studies show that using a strong and easily memorized vanity toll free number can increase your advertising effectiveness by 300% and boost your overall business sales by 30% to 200%. A specific 1999 study proved that radio ads with a vanity 800 number drew 14 times more calls then those with a numeric 800 number. Our monthly fees will easily be recouped by your increased business. CLICK HERE FOR THE STUDY

 

As a member, may I incorporate my new vanity number within all of my advertising provided it’s within my market area?

Yes. It’s encouraged. Advertising that you’ve tried in the past, such as Val-Pak Coupons or direct mail, will work significantly better when using a vanity number.

 

How many members will each marketing number have across the nation?

Because each member has an exclusive market area, each number only has room for up to 210 members. Just to give you an idea, there are over 1 million realtors in the USA but only 210 will be fortunate to be using 1-800-55-AGENT.

 

Okay, you’ve convinced me I could benefit from the incorporation of a memorable vanity number. What are some inexpensive ways your current members promote their Tele-Name numbers to get the most out of them?

They start by unleashing their imagination to the fullest extent possible. In addition to the staple advertising; which includes vehicle signage, television, radio, print, direct mail, door hangers, yellow pages, billboards, etc., a small business owner might sponsor a Little League ball team or advertise on a billboard at his daughters softball park, or put a billboard on a main highway into town or fly a banner over a crowded beach on a Labor Day weekend, or buy ad space before the previews at a local movie theatre, or a booth at a local fair, or join in a local co-op ad with the members in the neighboring market areas and divide the cost of the ads by three or more. The goal is that once the conscious mind focuses upon and processes your memorable number, which only takes a second, a memory reference has been established, linking directly to you.

 

Any discounts for getting more than one territory?

We offer multiple territory discounts. Call us at 1-800-998-1214 ext 4 and talk to us about a discount.

 

How long is the agreement? Can I ever be cancelled or lose the number? Also, how am I protected from future monthly fee increases?

It is a month to month agreement that automatically renews unless YOU cancel it. We can never cancel you unless you stop paying your bill. So it is your number to keep for as long as you want. You are contractually protected that your monthly fee will not increase during the first year, and after that no increase can ever be more than 5% a year.

 

Can I view a sample contract?

When I sell my business can I transfer the rights I have in the number to the buyer?

Absolutely! The number, and the branding you have created with it, actually becomes an asset of your business - actual equity that you will want to sell along with the rest of your company. The more you advertise the number, the more equity you will have in the number.
