Toll-Free Service: Simplify Customer Communications with 800 Numbers
When your goal is to get customers to call your business, it's important to make contact as easy for them as possible. Toll-free services help extend your business's reach and enhance customer service for your existing user base by encouraging customers to call using an 800 number.
There's no limit to the reasons why a business wants customers to call, but a few include:
We grow by millions of members covering services in Radiology, Cardiology and Oncology. We must have staff ready to handle calls and have the telecommunications component in place to absorb that type of increase in membership."
Douglas Tardio, CEO, CareCore National

- Voting for a reality show contestant
By offering a toll-free number, you're letting customers know that they are important to your business no matter what reason they have for calling.

800 Service Considerations
When considering a toll-free service for your business, there are several things to think about and discuss with AT&T to help you plan the optimal solution:
How many calls a day do you expect?
You'll want to think about whether you need a dedicated T1.5 line for large call volumes.
Will your callers just be in the U.S., or do you need international reach?
AT&T offers several options for domestic U.S. calling, depending on your call volume. One solution uses a toll-free number or numbers linked to your existing local telephone number. Another choice uses a direct-connect nodal service that terminates on a dedicated T1.5 line.
If you need international callers to reach you, think about whether you want a single toll-free number that works from the U.S. and internationally, or separate numbers for each country.
What countries do you need to support?
You can choose international toll-free service from a single country or from up to approximately 130 countries.
Do you need 24x7 coverage?
If so, you may need call centers in different time zones. You'll want a solution that routes calls to various call centers depending on business hours.
Do you need to network and integrate your customer service or support operations globally?
