TollFree Numbers

Your Solution for Effortless Tollfree Numbers

Are you looking for toll-free numbers that are reliable and easy to manage? Do you need the flexibility and automation to be able to route your calls intelligently, so that you never miss a customer. Or are you missing out on crucial insights due to a lack of reporting metrics? Look no further! Our Tollfree Number Manager is here to revolutionise the way you handle your toll-free calls.

What is our toll-free number manager?

Our Tollfree Number Manager portal is an intuitive and easy-to-use browser-based platform. It gives you direct access to view and control how your tollfree numbers deliver their calls in real-time. Our platform also offers a selection of call reports which can give you valuable information about the calls you receive.

Whether you already have one or more tollfree customer service numbers, or you’re looking to establish your presence with a tollfree service, we can help you out. No additional software or hardware is needed.

How does it work?

Your customers dial the toll-free number (0800 xxx xxx or 0508 xxx xxx) across New Zealand. Or they call 1300 xxx xxx or 1800 xxx xxx throughout Australia. Your toll-free number then seamlessly directs calls to your chosen destination, whether that be a phone line, voicemail or more.

Ensure your customers’ enquiries are answered promptly, by answering their call through your preferred channels.

Landlines
When a customer calls you, the call can be directed to any office or home phone. More than one number can be used for this, ensuring that someone will always be there to answer the call.

Mobiles
Your sales representatives can receive customer calls on their mobile while they’re on the move.

International numbers
Wherever you are in the world, you can expand your reach to new countries, and open up new potential markets, via local freephone numbers for both Australia and New Zealand.

Voicemail
Ensure that calls after hours go straight to voicemail, so that your staff can follow up when they’re next available.

Email
Have incoming messages attached to an email, to minimise disruption if you’re dealing with clients all day.

What if I already have a free phone number?

No problems! If you’re looking to take advantage of our advanced dashboard, but you already have your number with an existing provider, we can port your number across. This process will take about 10 working days, and all we’ll need from you are a few details about your number.

Before the switchover day, we’ll help you make sure everything is configured on our dashboard so that, when the time comes, the change is seamless and you don’t lose a single call. And, once your number has been ported to us, you can enjoy all the benefits of our modern, flexible system.

Why do I need a Manager for my toll-free numbers?
