OnSIP is happy to announce that we will begin taking vanity requests for the new 844 toll free code beginning December 9th 2013.
A vanity number is a toll free (800, 888, 877, 866, 855 or 844) number that has specific digits that you would like. Typically a vanity number will contain digits that spell out a word or phrase that is important to you. Or, you may want a specific series of numbers. OnSIP can manually check to see if your specific toll free vanity needs can be met.
Toll free vanity numbers are a great marketing tool for your business. If your ideal toll free number was already taken in the past, now may be your chance to acquire the number you’ve always wanted in the new 844 toll free code.
To request a toll free vanity number, please follow these steps:
- Submit a request from the OnSIP admin portal. You’ll find the “Request a vanity number” link at the bottom of the account page.
- Please provide us with as much detail as possible regarding your request. If you have multiple options in mind, please let us know all of them up front.
- Check your email for a response from our Porting Team.
If you don't require a toll free phone number that has specific digits, you can purchase a new toll free number directly from the admin portal. Please see the link here for instructions on purchasing a new phone number.
