What is the Initial Local Ring to Number?

By Bill Quimby on November 2, 2023

A toll free number just forwards the calls to a local number, and this is the local number you want the calls to be forwarded to. You can point toll free numbers to a cell phone or landline number, to a personal or business line. You can point a toll free number to someone else’s number. You can even point your toll free number to a payphone if you can find one, or someone else’s cell phone. Pointing a toll free number to a local number doesn’t change or affect the local number other than it rings when people dial the toll free number.

It has to be a local number, you can’t point a toll free number to another toll free number. That’s kind of like dividing by zero. You can point multiple toll free numbers to the same local number.

You can use the same local phone company that provides the local number, but you do NOT have to by any means. Cell phone companies for instance don’t provide toll free service but you can point any toll free number to that cell phone. You just have to use a company that does provide toll free service.

Thank you so much for your prompt and efficient service. Your service was the precise solution to my business need. I wanted my own 800 number and then I wanted to make sure I could use that number with any carrier and this service was perfect! Everything was so easy. Just one small payment and then I have my own toll free number for my business. Everyone I worked with was very helpful. Very little communication was necessary because the process is so easy. Rita, thank you so much for making sure I was informed during each step of the process. When I was searching around for carriers, they actually mentioned your company name before I did! This proves tollfreenumbers.com is really becoming popular for many businesses. I will definitely be sending everyone who needs an 800 number your way. Thank you so much again!!
