Re: I want true 800 to ring to my VOIP


Do most VoIP providers get their TollFree numbers out of some crappy pool of recycled calling card numbers?

I tried them a couple of times from different providers. In each case, I started getting calls from convenience stores and motels within hours. People would be calling at all hours of the day and night.

Yes, that is the great secret of VOIP providers, that they get their toll-free numbers from a pool of recycled calling card numbers. Of course, that's another reason not to get your toll-free number from a VOIP provider, that it will be a recycled number from a pool of old calling cards.

When selecting the number at assignment, there is a minimum level of protection you can do, which is simply to "google" the toll-free number to see any traces of it remaining online. If the number was to a small religious bookstore in Grand Island, Nebraska you'll probably be OK. If it was the phone number for Snoop Dogg's fan club printed on 3 million CDs in 1999, then you should probably pick another.
