So how does exactly a Toll Free Number work?
Let us explain!
It’s really simple. Toll Free numbers start with 8XX prefix. That is the famous 800, as well as, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, or 833. The best thing about Toll Free numbers is that these numbers are free of charge for the caller when calling within the same country. This means your customer won’t be charged when they call your company. At first, it might seem weird - Why would I want to pay for their calls?! but it turns out that getting a Toll Free number might be one of the best decisions you make.
If the customer runs into a problem with your product or service the only way to make them stay is if they contact your company and reach out for assistance. Yet, if you make it hard enough, e.g. use a regular phone number, they might rather not call at all and look for an alternative solution. Thus, even though you take some costs when you let customers call via Toll Free number, you may secure customers who would otherwise churn.
