Still not sure what an 800 number is?
Let us explain!
An 800 number is a specific type of a toll free phone number that starts with the 800 prefix. There are many other prefixes like 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888 but the 800 is believed to be a golden standard. That’s because many people recognize this type of phone number and that’s why it’s used so widely.
Just as any toll free number, an 800 number also works in a way that the cost of the call is paid for by the phone number’s owner, e.g. your company. Thanks to that customers and prospects are incentivized to make the call as it costs them nothing. It’s a great way of making it more convenient for your customers who may stumble into some issue, as well as, for your prospects who might be considering contacting you in regards to some deal or an offer.
