In the wake of the tragic 7.0 earthquake that devastated Haiti this past Tuesday, the US State Department has set up a toll free number for people in the United States to use to get information about family members residing in Haiti and the ongoing relief efforts.
The number is 1-888-407-4747.
Be advised that due to high call volume, you will hear an automated recording. From this recording, you can press 1 if you’re calling about information on family members or press 6 if you’re calling to offer assistance or make a donation toward the relief effort.
Texting Donations for Haiti Releif
To facilitate contributions to the relief effort, the Red Cross has set up a special text message campaign, whereby you can text “HAITI” to 90999 to make a $10 donation that will simply be billed on your regular cell phone bill. Singer Wyclef Jean’s foundation Yele Haiti has also set up a similar service to donate $5 by texting “YELE” to 501501.
A toll free number prefix has not been released since 2000, when 866 numbers joined the ranks of business toll free. But recent trending has shown a spike in toll free number usage as droves of small businesses emerge in the wake of the recent recession. This boom has lead many to speculate (with cautious optimisim) that the clock is again running as to when the next toll free number prefix, 855, will be released.
And 855 is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Many times people don’t realize the value a toll free number and auto attendant offer. They also don’t understand how the two work together. In this blog post I’m going to give you a basic run down on why auto attendant and a toll free number are good for your business.
When someone calls into your cell phone you hear the ringing, the caller hears the ringing, and then you either pick up or the call goes to voicemail. This is all well and good.

But in a competitive business world where image is everything, it does make you seem small, and unprofessional. Why put yourself at this disadvantage when, for an incredibly low price, you have the option of getting a toll free number service which offers a toll free number, auto attendant, and a wide array of other virtual phone system features.
