1‑800 MARKETER

by Bill Quimby · online since 1995

The only vanity number website with information about EVERY toll free and local number in North America.

We can't get you every number. We can't get you most of them. But we show you all of them, even the ones you might be able to get yourself without us. Nobody else does that.

Bill Quimby, the original 1-800 MARKETER, writes the network's mission on a whiteboard: show every vanity number, not just the ones we have for sale

How we show you everything

Five ways the "every number" mission actually reaches the customer.

Every number, with its real status

What it spells, whether it's in use, whether it's available, and who holds it. Toll free and local, across all of North America.

The millions you can claim yourself

Most vanity numbers aren't for sale by anyone. They're held by companies, or simply unassigned. We show you those too, and tell you how to request them.

The directories behind the numbers

Every RespOrg, every local carrier, a growing directory of number owners, and every number's matching domain. The reference data that explains who controls what. Data assembled nowhere else.

Watch any number over time

Set a notification on a specific number or a status, and we tell you the moment it changes or becomes available. The landscape moves; we watch it for you.

Common questions

Who is Bill Quimby?

Bill Quimby is the original 1-800 MARKETER, online since 1995 when he registered TollFreeNumbers.com. He has been the leading independent voice in toll free and local vanity numbers for over three decades, and runs a network of 12 vanity number websites covering every corner of the industry.

What is 1-800 MARKETER?

1-800 MARKETER is the umbrella name for Bill Quimby's network of vanity number sites. The network includes VanityNumbers.com (the hub), TollFreeNumbers.com (the original), VanityCellular.com, 1800AVAILABLE.com, plus the only public directories of RespOrgs, local carriers, and vanity number owners.

What makes the 1-800 MARKETER network different from other vanity number sites?

Every other vanity number site shows you only the numbers they want to sell you. The 1-800 MARKETER network shows you all of them, toll free and local, and tells you how to get the ones we can't sell you yourself. Nobody else does that.

Can Bill help me get a vanity number that's already in use?

Sometimes. The network shows you who holds a number, when it might come up for disconnect, and how to request it directly from the carrier or current owner. Bill can't get you every number, can't get you most of them, but he shows you all of them and helps you go after the ones that matter.
