A vanity number is a toll-free phone number that spells out a memorable word or phrase. They can be used to create an 800 number for a recognizable brand name like 1-800-FLOWERS.
Other companies want an easy-to-remember toll-free number for use in advertising (like 1-800-GoFedEx).
Custom phone numbers are available, with many toll-free prefixes, including 800, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888.
