Alliance 800/888 International Toll Free Service is a service that allows
businesses in Europe, Asia, Australia, Caribbean, South
America or any other non-U.S. companies or individuals to have a TOLL-FREE
800/888 number that can be used by their employees and customers in Canada
and the United States. Alliance 800/888 provides a business presence
to over 300 million people without the expense of setting up an office
in North America. Savings of up to 80% can be achieved.
This service was inspired by the immense success toll-free 800 numbers
have enjoyed in the U.S. and the fact that many U.S. companies are now
beginning to use international toll-free numbers for their customers and
salespeople outside the U.S.
For Customers of our Customer
Toll-free calling used to be a great competitive advantage for an American
business. It has evolved into being a business necessity in many industries
because customers have come to expect it.
We are one of the few providers, offering toll-free numbers to companies
outside the U.S. Therefore, we can provide our customer with a major competitive
advantage. Imagine a hotel in the Bahamas being able to give their U.S.
and Canadian customers an 800/888 number that takes them directly to reservations
desk in Nassau. Or a Scuba Diving tour operator giving all U.S. and Canadian
customers an 800/888 reservation number that rings right on the desk in
Eluthera. It might even save the company the expense of setting up a U.S.
operation.
For Salespeople
Even if our customer decides that a toll-free line would be too expensive
for sales or customer service, if they have salespeople traveling the U.S.
, we can save them money. Currently, those salespeople are using one of
the following three methods to call the home office:
-
The hotel phone charged to a VISA or Master Card
-
Some carrier's travel card
-
Collect calls
Hotels charge MTS rates (the highest) at best -- most add 10% to 50% on
top. Carrier travel cards have call surcharges in the $1.00-$2.00 per call
range, and they also charge roughly MTS rates. International collect calls
are unbelievably expensive. In short -- it's not cheap.
How It Works
Alliance 800/888 international toll free service uses the capacity of our switch
to forward an 800 call. Here's how it works:
-
Customer or salesperson dials a specific 800/888 number.
-
Our switch receives the 800/888 call and then sends the call to the overseas
number corresponding to that 800/888 number.
Rates, Fees, Minimums and Call Detail
We offer the lowest rates for toll free numbers. The rates are the exact
same as our callback rates. If you want the number to be available
only in the US, use the rates from the US on our rate table to calculate
your rate. If you want the number to be available in the US and
Canada you must use the rates from Canada to calculate your rate.
The customer receives full call detail from Alliance. They will
list every call and include the time, date, length, and cost of every
call. 800/888 numbers do not include the number from which it was
dialed from. There is no charge for unanswered calls, but there is a monthly
service fee of $1 per 800/888 number in addition to usage charges.
If you have an existing toll-free number we can also transfer the number
free of charge. Sign
up today and take advantage of our low rates.
