Get US toll-free numbers in minutes

Quo offers simple, affordable pricing when it comes to toll-free numbers. Our plans start at just $15 per user per month, with the option to use a toll-free number. Each user on your plan comes with one unique phone number, so your toll-free number doesn’t have to come with added fees. With Quo, you can take inbound calls from customers and potential clients in international NANP countries for free.

Quo offers two types of toll-free numbers to businesses: North American toll-free numbers and vanity toll-free numbers.

‍
Domestic toll-free numbers are US and Canadian toll-free numbers that offer toll-free calling for calls made in North America. They can accept incoming calls from callers in 20 countries in the region.

‍
Vanity toll-free numbers are functionally the same as domestic toll-free numbers. The only difference between the two is that vanity numbers can spell words, which makes them useful for marketing campaigns. For example, 1-800-FLOWERS or 1-800-FIXIT are vanity numbers businesses can use to market their business to customers across the US and Canada.

Quo doesn’t offer international toll-free numbers to businesses at this time.

The standard format for US toll-free numbers is:
- International call prefix: ‘+’ sign
- Country code: 1 for US and Canadian numbers
- Toll-free code: 800, 833, 877, or similar
- Local number: 7-digit phone number

Yes, most toll-free number service providers can port your existing number into their system so you can use your current number with your new provider.

Quo allows you to port your existing toll-free number in just three steps:

1. Sign up for a Quo account and try the platform for free for seven days with a temporary number.

2. Once you confirm Quo is a good fit, fill out our 1-minute port request form from the web or desktop app.

3. Give us 5-10 business days to work with your existing provider to complete your porting request.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider signing up for a US toll-free number:

1. Professional brand image: When you have a toll-free number, it signals to customers that you're a larger and more established business with a nationwide presence. This can inspire confidence in potential customers to give you a call and inquire about your services.

2. Single customer support number: If you operate in multiple states or regions, a toll-free number can be helpful for customers to call your customer support team instead of having to choose between multiple local numbers.

3. Cost-effective for teams and customers: Callers don’t have to pay long-distance charges to call your toll-free business phone number. With a phone service like Quo, you can add a toll-free number without having to pay extra for toll-free calling.

If you want to get up and running today, go through this checklist for what you must have to operate a toll-free or other business number:

1. US toll-free number provider: For a scalable, cost-effective option, you’ll want to go with a VoIP service provider like Quo. Compared to desk phones and other outdated solutions, you don’t have to pay upfront for installation, hardware, long contracts, or other huge upfront expenses.

2. Your preferred device: The best VoIP systems are accessible from multiple devices. You can use Quo to call and text from your smartphone (iPhone and Android), laptop, or computer.

3. Strong internet connection: The best phone systems default to your internet connection so you’re not paying for data on your mobile phone. As long as you have a reliable internet provider, you can easily use your toll-free number.

Toll-free numbers are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, which sets rules on how businesses can get and use toll-free numbers. For example, most toll-free numbers are available on a first-come, first-served basis and RespOrgs can’t warehouse or reserve numbers unless they’re tied to a subscriber.

You’ll also need to follow SMS regulations like the TCPA, also known as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. This includes getting SMS consent before contacting someone from your toll-free number.

But first, you have to complete toll-free registration to text US customers. With Quo, this process is included as part of your subscription.

You should use a toll-free number if you’re working with customers across different areas or you want an easy way for people to call you without thinking about cost. It’s common for teams handling support or sales across multiple regions.

For example, ecommerce teams often use toll-free numbers for returns, and healthcare organizations may use them to make their services more accessible, such as booking appointments. If you mainly serve one area, like a local contractor, a local number usually makes more sense.

Vanity numbers aren't more expensive with Quo. Each user you add to your account gets one number, and additional numbers cost $5 per number per month.

Some providers charge extra for vanity numbers, especially for high-demand words. Availability is also more limited on 800 numbers, with better options on prefixes like 833 or 844.

Toll-free numbers use prefixes like 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, and 833. They all work the same — the only difference is availability at the time you get a number.

Toll-free numbers are common in industries that rely on inbound calls and serve customers across different regions:

• Real estate: Marketing with vanity numbers on ads and billboards
• Legal services: Handling client intake and consultations
• Home services: Managing inquiries for multi-location businesses like HVAC or plumbing
• Insurance: Supporting policy questions and claims across different regions

There’s no difference in how they work — availability of a number with a specific prefix is the only thing that can vary, depending on when you attempt to get a number.
