What is a Shared Custom 800 Number?

Shared-use of toll-free numbers is an innovative concept that allows a toll-free number like 1-800-NEW-VISION to be used by different optometrists in their respective advertising markets, with calls routed to the correct subscriber based on the location of the person dialing the number – specifically, based on the area code of the caller.

When a business activates a shared Custom 800 number, they choose the area codes that pertain to the markets that they service, and/or the markets that their advertising campaigns reach. Once the account is active, the subscriber to the shared-use toll-free vanity number is the only one within those designated area codes that will receive calls to that Custom 800 number.

This means similar businesses across the country, who service local or regional geographic areas, can reap the benefits of a advertising with an unforgettable vanity 800 number.
