Guest post by: Nicolas DAlleva

Article Overview: There are plenty of toll free telephone directories that many people are unaware of. These can be a helpful resource for many different reasons.

Toll Free Telephone Directories

When you need to find a friend or family member's phone number, you will most likely consult a print or online version of the white pages. Likewise, business numbers can be found easily in the yellow pages or in the results of a search engine. Even government phone numbers can be found in a variety of directories, sometimes known as the "blue pages". It seems like the phone number for anything is right within your reach, but what if you need a directory that specializes in toll free numbers? Internet toll free telephone directories are a great resource when trying to find a hotel's toll free reservation line, the toll free help desk number for your Internet service provider, and more. Other times, you can use a toll free telephone directory to do a reverse lookup on an unknown toll free number to find out who it belongs to. Whereas most telephone directories list phone numbers submitted by businesses, specialized toll free telephone directories provide secret customer service numbers for companies who prefer to communicate by email.

1) National Toll Free Directory: This directory is very extensive in listing the toll free numbers of all sorts of companies, non-profits, and other organizations. They have categories for every industry, with a hierarchy of subcategories below them. This allows you to really zero in on what you need; for example, if your company needs a specialized part made, the national toll free directory allows you to navigate from the category "Industrial Goods &Services" to "Paper &Plastic Products" to "Plastics - Molders".

2) Airline Toll Free Numbers: Anyone who has ever flown knows that air travel can be a frustrating experience. From delays to lost baggage, there always seems like there is something that can go wrong. Sometimes you can't find the toll free number for the department you need to speak to, and other times you can't even find the main number for the airline in order to reserve a ticket for a flight. This website is very thorough, easy to navigate, and lets you search by the airline's name, the country its located in, and even by its continent.

3) Canada Toll Free: Although most toll free directories are focused on callers in the United States, Canada Toll Free is an internet directory of toll free numbers especially for Canadians. This is an especially useful service because toll free numbers do not necessarily work across the US-Canada border. As with US states, toll free numbers don't always work across Canadian provinces. Canada Toll Free directory is a great resource because you can specify your area code to ensure the search results will work from your location.

4) Available Vanity 800 Toll Free Numbers Lookup Tool: Vanity toll free numbers used to be a lot more popular than they are today, however many businesses still prefer to use them. Depending on the industry, having a vanity number can be a great way for customers to remember your number. Because many high-demand words and phrases have been taken, companies need a way to find out what vanity toll free numbers are still available. This is where the Available Vanity 800 Toll Free Numbers Lookup Tool comes in. Using its many features and options, you can not only see if a number is available, it will suggest alternatives in the event it isn't.

5) Customer Service Number Directory: When you are in a rush and need the toll free customer service number of your cable company, the maker of your computer, a credit card company, or any other business - use the Customer Service Number Directory. Many companies try to put barriers up between their customers and their staff to reduce the number of calls that come into their office. This can be very frustrating for you and other consumers, but luckily this customer service directory has the numbers you are looking for.

6) Toll Free Directory Assistance: Finding the toll free number of a local company can be hard with many directories that are more national in focus. At Toll Free Directory Assistance, it is easy to search by name for a specific company and then refine the results based on the location of the company. By looking at where a company is located, you ensure that you pick the right entry out of a list that can sometimes include numerous companies with the same name. Toll Free Directory Assistance also sets itself apart by actually offering a toll free directory assistance number for you to call.

7) Phone Number Comments: We have all gotten calls from unknown numbers and wondered what company they are calling from. Reverse lookup services on many online toll free telephone directories are helpful in finding out the names of many companies, but many companies are not listed here. 800Notes is a powerful tool for not only uncovering the identity of your mystery caller, but also a great source of comments from others who have received calls from the same number. Occasionally you will read comments warning you of possible scam artists that may be associated with those numbers.

8) White Pages, Yellow Pages, Maps and Directions on AnyWho: A service provided by AT&T, AnyWho is a powerful directory where you can find toll free telephone numbers for businesses across the country. In addition to providing quick access to toll free listings, it also allows you to do reverse lookup on both toll free and local numbers. This online directory has other useful features such lists of area codes and the regions they cover. Perhaps the most amazing feature of this toll free telephone directory is that it makes international telephone books and their listings easily available.

9) Reverse Phone Number Lookup Directory Services: This website is a toll free telephone directory similar to 800Notes.
