    Porting FAQ's

    • How can my business benefit by offering an 800 number?

      Toll-free phone numbers provide several benefits including greater prestige and trustworthiness among consumers. They also increase brand recall which helps to improve advertising response rates and increase referrals. The 800 prefix is the original toll-free exchange, giving your business a sense of being long-established, at an affordable price.

    • When can I start using my new 800 number?

      When checkout is complete, most 800 toll-free numbers will be active within a day. Others will need to be provisioned, a process that can take between 3 and 5 business days. We will do our best to have your phones ringing as soon as possible. To check the status of your order, reach out to RingBoost support..

    • Once I complete the checkout, do I own the 800 number outright?

      At this time, due to FCC regulation, toll-free numbers can only be licensed, and RingBoost remains the subscriber of record. You will have exclusive use of the number within your licensed territory or nationwide (whichever is applicable) for the duration of the contract term.

    • How many minutes should I purchase?

      RingBoost offers several toll-free plans for 800 numbers and for any size budget; purchase a package in advance that includes minutes or pay for minutes used - the choice is yours!

    • Make sure your carrier can service your number

      If you are unsure about whether or not your carrier can take a number you can always reach out to them before your purchase. This way you can choose to go with a different carrier that can service the number or find a number that is in the correct area.
