You've probably dialed a 1-800 number at some point to ask questions, get help, or connect to a sales rep. These phone numbers are called toll-free numbers because they are completely free for the person placing the call.

Business owners often use toll-free numbers so customers and prospects can get help without worrying about expensive, long-distance phone calls.

Toll-free number benefits

1. Distinctive area code such as 800, 855, or 833 in North America. Kind of like a premium domain name.
2. Customers can call for free. Specifically people in the US, Canada, and 18 other countries can dial your team without paying long-distance charges.
3. Worldwide appeal. This is because toll-free numbers aren't tied to any specific location. There's no area code like there is with typical phone numbers.
4. Credibility boost. Businesses with toll-free numbers come across as larger and more established.

How do you get a toll-free number?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) controls who receives a toll-free number, and they're typically distributed through a "Responsible Organization" that reserves, manages, and distributes toll-free numbers to business owners, like OpenPhone does for example.

To get a toll-free number, follow these steps:

1. Sign up for an OpenPhone account or another Responsible Organization
2. Pick your number by selecting "toll-free numbers."
3. Enter your payment information 
4. Complete any necessary verifying documentation (OpenPhone will guide you through this)
5. That's it!

How much does a toll-free number cost?

Three factors determine the cost of a toll-free number:

1. The number itself
2. Inbound and outbound calls
3. Your contact's location

Check with your toll-free number provider for more details.

OpenPhone makes it easy to register toll-free or local numbers for your business. From there, you can use features like phone menus, auto-replies, and more to improve your customer experience. It's the intuitive business phone system for customer-obsessed teams.

A good voicemail greeting is concise and contains information your callers most frequently want to know. This includes when they can expect to hear back from you and if there is any alternate way to reach you in an emergency.

To help you get started with creating the voicemail greetings you need for your business, we've put together a list of 22 pre-recorded business voicemail greeting examples . Even better, all these voicemail greetings are free and you can download the voicemail's mp3 file in the full article.

Main office line voicemail greeting examples

1. "You've reached [company name]. We can't take your call right now, let us call you back! Please leave us your name, number, the reason for your call and the best time to call you back – we don't want to miss you again. Talk to you soon."

2. "Thanks for calling [your company]. We're looking forward to speaking with you. Let us call you back as soon as we are available by leaving your name, contact information and the reason for your call. Have a great day."

Business cell voicemail greeting examples

3."Thanks for calling [your name] at [your company]. I didn't mean to send you to voicemail but I am either on the line with another client or on the go. Leave your name, number, the reason for your call today and the best time to call you back. I'll speak with you shortly!"

4. "Hey, this is [your name] at [X company]. Right now, I'm on vacation and won't be back in the office until [month]! Please leave me your name, phone number, and the reason you are calling and I will get back to you then. If it's urgent, you can email details at [company email] and one of our team members will reach out to you. Have a great day."

Customer service voicemail greeting examples

5. "Hello! You've reached [company name] support line. We'll be happy to help with your inquiry. In the meantime, have you checked out our [website, help forum, etc.]? It may have the answer you're looking for. If not, leave your name, number and reason for your call. We'll reach out to you within the day. Thanks for calling [company name]."

6. "Hello, you've reached the [Department name] at [your company]. We can't take your call right now, but please leave your name, contact information, and the reason for reaching out. One of our team members will be in touch within the day. To ensure we don't miss you again, you can also let us know the best time to call you back. Thanks and have a great day."

After hours voicemail greeting examples

7. "Hi, Thanks for giving us a call! Sorry, but we are closed right now. Please leave us your name, number and the best time to reach you and we'll get back to you within the day. Thank you."

8. "Thanks for giving us a call! We promise it's never a bad time for [company name], but you've reached us after-hours. Please leave us your name, number and the best time to reach you and we'll give you a call when we are open."

While missed calls aren't ideal, you can let your caller know you're still there for them by creating a great voicemail greeting.
