For either presales, or support or for both.

Anyone got any good recommendations on who to purchase an 800 # from?

kall8.com

I never used them but I heard they are good with their services and prices.

We use Freedom Voice. I have called them a few times to ask question on how to operate their system and very pleased with their support.

When we were deciding we basically did a search & never really got people's opinions. I called a couple of the people and I was really pleased with everything that Freedom Voice told me as well as some of the companies they support. Plus they keep adding new features as well

I've used angel.com before and they were excellent.

We've used kall8 for about 2 years. Whenever we receive a voicemail, they email a WAV file to us. It's very convenient.

Vonnage, hands down.
Cheap 800# rates with a long distance plan plus when you have to return calls (like I have had to do about 30 times today, all over the country) it's free. And all the "goodies" like call waiting, call forwarding, etc. are included, not extra like with a "phone" company.
And so far not one person in 3 months has ever said a word about me not being on a "land line". You can't tell the difference (if you have a good high speed Internet connection) You also have an option for an alternate number you can enter so it will forward calls to it in case your Internet goes down.
I have a good DSL plan and I've never had a noticeable slowdown or any sound quality problem with as many as 3 or 4 windows open checking emails, looking at a customer's control panel to see what they messed up etc. all while talking on the phone & "holding" another call on call waiting over the same connection. Saves me money every month, and anything that does that gets high marks from me.

Another option would be tollfreelive.com. Great customer service from these guys....

I like kall8.

Although I do use Vonage for my landline (which is what kall8 directs calls to). To add on an 800 number the price is $5, which is a bit more than kall8, plus kall8 has some rather excellent features.

kall8 + vonage make a great combo though!

Talk to your phone company. My toll-free number was free with my phone line.

I believe that Kall8 is used by a lot of hosting companies. I looked into it myself but decided it wasn't worth it in the end.

Weused to use tollfreelive for about 3-4 months, but they didn't have all the features that we needed We now use GotvMail and couldn't be happier. It is loaded with features and the price is acceptable.

For rates, presales and support I think www.tollfreeexpress.com is the way to go.

Are you sure you don't work for tollfreeexpress? You seem to post an awful lot about them.

Nah, i'm just happy with the service, i've been with another provider that treated me like cr*p. I am no expert in the other aspects i see here so i mostly just read and learn.

World Wide Phone (http://www.worldwidephone.com/) is a small reseller that can help you pick from a few companies to get a plan that will work with how you plan on using your toll free number.

A perfect combo is Vonage + Kall8 if you ask me. Thats what we use and its amazing.

I like tollfreeexpress too. Just started using them for some stuff and they've been excellent. :-)
