Phone service is necessary for your small business. Adding Vonage Internet phone service allows you to keep your same phone number and add features such as call waiting, caller ID and toll free service.

Using Vonage 800 numbers for your business lets your clients contact you without spending money on a long distance call. Your business projects a more professional image without costing you a fortune on your phone bill.

Vonage works by bridging the gap between your current phone and your Internet line. You get the same perks that you have on a regular phone line, such as voice mail and call forwarding, with additions such as area code selection and long distance calls to anywhere in the United States -- all at no extra charge.

Use Vonage toll free numbers to:

1. Increase brand awareness by choosing a number that is memorable.

2. Allow customers to call your business, using Vonage toll free numbers for free, no matter what part of the country they live in.

3. Save money by having both a corporate and residential toll free plan.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Choose Vonage corporate and residential toll free plans


The company offers both, so ask a representative how to save money at home and work with Vonage. Residential toll free information concerning rates, discounts, minutes and setup is always available online.

I recommend: Consider residential plans to cover your personal life and business plans to cover your work life. Both include services like caller ID, call waiting and conference calling. Add Toll Free Plus to give your business that extra professionalism and service required to stay ahead of the competition.

Try Vonage toll-free services before you buy


Check out Vonage corporate toll free information and ask about trying the product before committing to it. Most VoIP companies will let you test the service, and see firsthand how it is different from your regular phone service.

I recommend: Ask a representative about getting Vonage 800 numbers free for one month. By accepting a free trial your business employees can decide whether the service meets all the needs a regular phone line offers for a cheaper price. Business partners may decide to try Vonage toll free services for themselves to cut overhead costs.

Find out if Vonage corporate toll free plans are right for your business


You may use Vonage toll free numbers for your home -- to keep in touch with the children or to give busy friends a way to easily get a hold of you. But using an internet phone service for your business may seem a little more risky. Consider your options carefully before dropping your current phone provider.

I recommend: Find out what you need for Vonage corporate toll free plans. Most plans require a broadband Internet connection, an address in the United States, a Vonage phone adapter and any touch-tone phone. You can use the same phones you use now by plugging them into the company's free phone adapter.

Understand the difference in Vonage 911 services


You can't use the same local 911 service with Vonage as you do with regular telephone services. This seems unsafe, but as long as you know the correct procedures, you will have no problem getting emergency assistance when you need it.

I recommend: Read the Vonage 911 information provided before signing up for the service. Register your address and information with the company when signing up -- if you dial 911, a national service center distributes the registered information to a local emergency assistance who will call you back if necessary. The downside of this service is that it will not work if your Internet is down, or if you have a power outage.

Compare Vonage toll free rates for business with other providers


Get full Vonage corporate toll free information, as well as that of other providers, to compare the rates, services and extras. Comparing -- as with any business decision -- ensures you get the best deal and get exactly what you want from your phone plan.

I recommend: Contact representatives from other VoIP networks, such as AT&TComcast and Qwest. These companies offer services similar to Vonage corporate toll-free plans, so be sure to ask about the differences. Read the Vonage FAQ for more information as you have questions.
