Almost everyone knows that you can make free calls to numbers in the code 8-800 from landlines and cell phones from all over Russia. But the heads of enterprises and institutions may be concerned about another question: where to get such a number.
Instructions
Step 1
Get ready for calls that are free of charge to those who call you to be paid for by you. Weigh the pros and cons of such a decision. Of course, the popularity of your products and services will increase, they will be ordered more often. But can the additional income generated as a result of this be able to cover the costs of receiving calls? Entrust the implementation of the appropriate calculation to the economic department of your enterprise or institution, and start getting a toll-free number only after the specialists of this department have made a positive decision.
Step 2
Select an operator providing the appropriate service. There are about two dozen of them on the territory of the Russian Federation. Find them using search engines. Compare the prices for the services they provide, consult with colleagues who already use such services about how well they are provided by these or those operators. Check out also the reviews about such services posted on thematic forums.
Step 3
Having finally decided on the choice of an operator, choose a tariff that is convenient for the budget of your organization. Usually they come either with the included number of minutes, or with a per-minute payment. Unlimited tariffs for this service are rare and usually expensive, but if the budget allows, and the operator has such a tariff, feel free to choose it.
Step 4
When concluding a contract with an operator, be sure to indicate, among other things, to which number the calls will be forwarded. Many operators provide call forwarding only to landline numbers. Also, be sure to check if your toll-free number will be single-channel or multi-channel.
Step 5
If an enterprise or institution has moved, and forwarding is carried out to a city number, be sure to notify the operator about this. In this case, you will be able to leave the toll-free number the same, familiar to the already formed circle of customers, and forwarding will be carried out to a new number. Such a quick change of the number for forwarding is carried out by almost all operators providing such a service.
