What to consider before buying a custom phone number

Before you buy a custom phone number for business, here are a few tips that might help:

Should align with your business

Pick a custom number that matches your business name or what you do. It’ll just be easier for customers to remember and great for advertising.

Check number availability

Make sure the phone number you want is available. Popular ones might already be taken, so search for similar ones and have backup options ready.

Go with other prefixes

When choosing a toll-free number, don’t just focus on the 1-800 prefix. There are other prefixes like 1-833, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888 that you can consider. While 1-800 numbers are well-known, newer ones are becoming more popular and might be just as effective for your business.

Think a little outside the box

Don’t just focus on words when you’re searching. Phone numbers with easy patterns can be just as memorable—sometimes even more so—if you’re running out of word options.

Example: 1-888-600-6000

Quick legal check

Make sure the number you choose doesn’t break any laws or trademarks.
