Trusted by 90,000+ businesses and rated 9.5/10 on G2 from 3,200+ reviews. --- ## What Is a Vanity Phone Number? A vanity phone number is a custom telephone number that spells out a word, brand name, or phrase on the dial pad — for example, 1-800-FLOWERS (1-800-356-9377) or 1-888-CONTACTS (1-800-266-82287). Vanity numbers work identically to standard phone numbers; the phone system dials after the caller enters the first 10 digits, so numbers can exceed 10 characters. Vanity numbers are available with both **local area codes** and **toll-free prefixes** (800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, 833). A local vanity number suits businesses that serve a specific region and rely on local recognition. A toll-free vanity number is better for businesses expanding into new markets or running marketing campaigns — customers can call without incurring long-distance charges. --- ## Quo Vanity Number Pricing | Plan | Price | What's Included | |------|-------|-----------------| | **Starter** | $15/user/month | 1 local or toll-free number per user (vanity numbers included at no premium), unlimited calls and texts to US & Canada, call recording, voicemail transcription | | **Business** | $23/user/month | Everything in Starter + Quo AI, phone menus (IVR/auto-attendant), ring order, call analytics | | **Scale** | $35/user/month | Everything in Business + AI call tags, inbound phone support, dedicated onboarding | | **Additional numbers** | $5/number/month | Add extra local, toll-free, or vanity numbers to any plan | No setup fees.
