USA Call Forwarding | FAQ's

General

A U.S. toll free number is a telephone number that begins with 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, or 844 as the prefix. These numbers are free to dial for the caller.

Toll free numbers allow callers to reach the owner of the toll free number without paying for the call. Instead, the recipient of the call (the toll free number owner) pays for the received calls.

We also have local numbers with area codes for almost every state and city.

Toll free numbers are assigned to the country they originate and are not accessible internationally. There are some general exceptions to this rule.

Canadian toll free numbers, for instance, are accessible from the US and vise versa. Additionally, certain toll free numbers in the US can be reached by some telecommunication providers in the United Kingdom and other countries. However, this usually is not the case and it’s usually not for free for the caller who is charged local US call rates.

The recipient of the call (which is the toll free number owner), pays for the received calls.

Prices can begin at $12.95 per month for a United States business toll free number. Plans are based on the amount of time your customers spend calling you. There are several plans to choose from such as the Enterprise package, which is ideal for businesses with a high demand for calls.

No, toll free numbers can also be used for personal reasons.

Yes, this is one of the main benefits of having an international virtual toll free number. Incoming calls to toll free numbers can be routed almost anywhere in the world.

Yes, if you have the Outbound Calling feature connected with your virtual number you can have your number appear on caller ID's.  Our customers have the ability to customize their caller ID through the customer control panel. here.

If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with your service from USACallForwarding.com, we ask that you do let us know what is wrong and why you are not fully satisfied before you cancel. If you don't have time and just want to cancel your service, we understand that and it can be done easily.

Cancellations go into effect starting from the next billing cycle and can be submitted by email or through the control panel before the end of the current month, in order to avoid any service charges for the next month.

SMS

No. Our SMS service is designed for communication with your customers, family, and friends. Most services sending verification SMS messages are able to detect numbers which are not mobile for security reasons in order to prevent fraud. `

As a consequence of this, we are unable to support service activation SMS messages from banks, financial companies, and many other automated services. Our in-house fraud prevention team has a zero-tolerance policy in regards to fraudulent activity, including using our numbers to illegally register accounts with web services.

Currently, our system is set up to forward SMS messages to your email and not directly to your phone number. But no worries, we have an alternative that works for most people!

There is a way to receive incoming SMS messages directly in your SMS inbox. This doesn’t work for all carriers, but most service providers provide a free “email to text” service which gives users the ability to receive SMS messages through an email address.

Here’s an example:
T-Mobile has a service that delivers email sent to USERPHONENUMBER@tmomail.net to the phone’s SMS inbox directly. You can find the specific email format for your given service provider and use it to receive incoming SMS in your phone’s SMS inbox directly.

Our network is designed to handle volume and can be scaled up if there is the need to accommodate a larger number of calls. If you think your number will receive more than 10 simultaneous calls at any given time (10 conversations going on at the same time), then please contact our technical team and we will make sure your account is set up to handle high call volume. Note that in some instances local numbers can be unable to support more than two calls at a time.

Cancellations go into effect starting from the next billing cycle and can be submitted by email or through the control panel before the end of the current month, in order to avoid any service charges for the next month. Do note, however, that there is a minimum commitment for “Personal” accounts.

Accounts that are opened for “personal” use will be subject to a minimum of three (3) months of commitment to pay for the services. An “unverified” business account will be deemed as “personal” and will be subject to the same three month minimum service commitment. If an account holder for “personal” use decides to cancel the service before the end of this minimum commitment period, then the remainder of the 3 month service cost will be charged to the customer upon closing of the account. Global Call Forwarding reserves the right to charge this 3 month minimum commitment period in advance to the customer during the account opening process.
