Frequently Asked Questions About Vanity Phone Numbers
What is a shared-use vanity phone number? How
does it work?
A shared
use vanity phone number is a toll free 1-800 number that is licensed
exclusively by area code. This allows any number of automobile
dealerships nationwide to share the power and memorability of a
vanity phone number only in the territory which they advertise and
sell vehicles. Advanced and seamless telecommunications technology
is used to recognize where a call is originating from and send it to
the appropriate licensee in a matter of milliseconds. All calls ring
directly to your office and the caller is unaware that a switch has
taken place.
Does CallBoost provide any other services?
All of
our numbers are available with Call Tracking. We provide you with a
unique user name and password and website that you can log into
and see your call volume in real-time.
What is Call Tracking?
The
Call Tracking services available with all of our numbers provide you
with: the phone numbers of your incoming calls, city or town information
for the phone numbers, the opportunity to reverse-lookup a phone
number (providing you with address and name information of your
callers) and the time and date of your incoming calls (allowing you
to gauge which of your ads your customers are responding to).
I have multiple store locations in the same
market. Can I use the same toll free Phone Name for all of them?
Yes.
CallBoost has several call routing options that allow you to share
one number across multiple stores in the same market. Please call us
to learn more.
Why wouldn’t I just get my own Vanity Phone
Name?
The
cost to acquire a vanity Phone Name on your own can be in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars in the unlikely event that the
number you want is even available. Using an 866, 877 or 888 toll
free prefix is not as prestigious and those numbers are frequently
mis-dialed as 800, sending your calls to someone else. Licensing one
of our distinctive and memorable 1-800 vanity numbers will save time
and money over other toll free vanity phone number options and
enable you to get more calls, more business, and more profit out of
your marketing efforts.
What are the terms of licensing a vanity phone
name from CallBoost?
Nearly all of our numbers are available on a month-to-month basis
with no cancellation fee. We ask for 30 days notice to
terminate.1-800-INFINITI and 1-800-HYUNDAI require a twelve month
minimum commitment, with 30 days notice to terminate after that.
How long will it take to have my number
activated once I sign up?
We will have your number up and running within five business days
although most requests are completed within three.
