Have you ever wondered what the world might be like without 800 numbers? I have. Imagine having to pay long distance when you called a company to pay your bill—you would have to pay to pay! Wouldn’t that cause people to really freak out, I think so! A world without 866 numbers would be a world where customer service representatives quite their jobs daily in order to find something less trying and stressful. Many people would be so peeved that they could not call a business to tender payment without paying first just to call them!
So yes, 800 numbers definitely have made it easier of businesses to allow their customers to get a hold of them. Personally, I use 800 numbers all the time to check balances on credit cards. Can you imagine getting charged long distance rates just to call your credit card provider and make a payment over the phone? Exactly! 866 numbers are just part of our society, a society that will happily pay 39-cents for a stamp to mail in a bill, but will moan to the umpteenth degree about a long distance charge.
And why shouldn’t we? If they want our business, they had better allow us to call them tollfree!
