855 Toll Free Number Frequently Asked Questions

Please Note!!  No guarantees can be made regarding success of obtaining your 855 toll free number by us or anyone else.

Question: Why is there such a sense of urgency for the new 855 toll free number?
Answer:  The 855 toll free code opening was at exactly 12 noon on October 9, 2010.  The FCC's Toll Free National Database administrator, SMS/800 did not accept any submission for an 855 number reservation from any Responsible Organizations (RespOrg) before that time.  Every RespOrg (there are 300+) with 855 reservations started submitting their customer reservations at noon.  While the code opening is a level playing field in terms of equal access for all RespOrgs, technology was the decisive and winning factor in converting 855 code reservations to secured numbers.

Question: Why is the RespOrgs technology so crucial and important?
Answer:  There are generally three access methods in which a RespOrg may submit their customer’s 855 number reservation requests to the FCC's SMS Toll Free National Database administrator.  The mechanized technology (MGI access) is by far the fastest and also least utilized because of the heavy costs involved in implementing such a system.  At this time, there are only a hand full of RespOrgs that have been certified to use this access method.  (855Capture.com’s partner Worldlink Services Corp or “YNW01” is one of them.)  In addition to this, what sets these RespOrgs apart is their particular technology implementation and the means in which they are built to utilize the mechanized API. Worldlink has developed a specially tuned platform for the capture of 855 Numbers.

Question: What makes 855Capture.com so special and sets you apart from other RespOrgs for fulfilling my 855 toll free number reservation request(s)?
Answer: The technology implementation driving our API with SMS is state-of-the art and unparalleled!  There is no speed issue on the SMS side as it is built to take the load from the 300+ RespOrgs.  We are Certified Responsible Organization authorized by the FCC's SMS Toll Free National Database Administrator for the Management of Toll Free numbers.  Worldlink is one of only a handful of Responsible Organizations (RespOrg) and Service Control Point operators that are authorized to directly connect to the main frames in Eagan, MN and Salt Lake City, UT.  Furthermore, Worldlink is currently the one and only RespOrg directly connected to the main frame systems in a manner that provides massive data capacity without the use of the older and slower T1 technology used by the other few existing directly connected RespOrgs.  This provides our telecom and toll free management customers a unique advantage over other solutions, allowing them to bypass the congested queue of backed up transactions that exist on other vendor's shared T1 connected systems.  This unique and extraordinarily fast technology can submit reservations of 855 Vanity numbers faster than any other company.  While there can be no guarantee by any RespOrg, the possibility of converting your number reservations to acquired status by us is extremely good.

Question: Is there a limit on the quantity of 855 numbers I may request?
Answer: There is no limit on the quantity of 855 numbers you may request.  With our technology we are capable of obtaining a large quantity at the code opening.

Question: You are NOT charging any up front fee for reservations of 855 toll free prefix code numbers.   Other vendors are charging much more money, some as high as $500, up front even before the 855 toll free code opening on October 9, 2010.   Then, if they are unsuccessful, they are still charging a fee for the search.  How is it that 855Capture.com is so reasonably priced and cost effective?

Question:  If 855Capture.com is so reasonably priced compared to other vendors, are you a less qualified and capable vendor than them?
