Hi Guys / Gals..

Can you help me on an issue.

I'm a UK host with 80% of my client base, based in USA and I want to provide a 1-877 | 1-800 number for support for them.

I'm providing a UK free fone 0800 but it's not a toll free for international calls

Are there and Intl Free phone numbers or can anyone tell me how I get a 1-800 in?

I can't tell you how to get one, but I am 99.8% sure it is available. If you want to provide a temp solution today, I would recommend getting one of those free voicemail numbers (800#), which deleivers messages to the email box. No, it isn't what you are looking for, but it is something that you could get working within two hours if you want to. No one has to know it goes to an email box :)

I use uReach.com and think they are quite good.

Another one you might want to check out is OneBox at
http://www.OneBox.com

my personal favorite can be found at http://mail.computercurrents.com/ and is powered by canbox (odd that the name is similar to what someone else suggested). Since I was able to set it up without too much trouble, I assume you will be able to as well. If you have problems, lemme know.

If I remember correctly, this isn't quite as full featured as ureach, but the price is right :)

Note: I believe you have to first set a local # (can be any one they offer) , then convert it to a toll free #. Also, be sure to personalize your greeting, as the default one might be a bit impersonal.

Checke out onebox... they offer the common free local number 123-123-1234 x5678, extension type, which I personally don't like. The one I suggested offers a number that is toll free, no extensions.
