Rules for Toll Free Numbers Cell Phones


Free to Call
Even though you will be calling the toll-free number from your cell phone, you will not be charged for the call. However, it does use your mobile minutes which you have allotted to you each month via contract, so if you go over your mobile minutes due to the toll-free call, you will be charged by your cell phone provider. It is probably best if you don't call a toll-free number, like a customer service number, from your cell phone but rather a land line, as there is no minute limit on those calls.
Do Not Call Registry
While most cell phone companies block 1-800 numbers from calling their customer's cell phones, there are certain telemarketing companies that find their way around these blocks and call people on their cell phones anyway. This is why it is important for people to individually register their cell phone numbers with the Do Not Call Registry, which is provided in every state and nationally by the Federal Communications Commission. This makes it illegal for telemarketers to contact you for five years after you have registered your cell phone number from their toll-free company numbers.
Toll Free Link to Cell Phone
If you have your own toll-free 1-800 number for your business, you can link it directly to your cell phone so you can answer customer calls at any time and in any place. These toll-free numbers can be set up for a reasonably inexpensive fee per month, with free technical support and the ability to use it easily with any phone. If you set up the link yourself between this toll-free number and your cell phone, there are no rules prohibiting how many times your number can be called. However, be wary of calling others who have cell phones from that number, as it may be blocked or in violation of the national Do Not Call Registry.

How to Install a Hands


1. Buy a Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone. All phones now sold have this capability, which allows them to communicate wirelessly with speakers and microphones.
2. Purchase a speakerphone. These are small units that include a speaker and a microphone; most of them clip to the inside of your sun visor or to the dashboard. Some of these devices are solar-powered while others connect to your truck's dashboard power outlet. It is even possible to buy models with built-in radio transmitters that allow you to use your stereo speakers to hear your callers.
3. Clip your speakerphone in place and connect it to its power supply. Turn it on.
4. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth functionality. This generally involves navigating to your phone's setup menu, then selecting 'Bluetooth' and turning it on. After a few moments, the phone will detect any Bluetooth devices in the area. Select your antenna; it will generally identify itself by name on your phone's screen. You need to do this only once; the next time you bring your phone into your truck, the speakerphone will automatically connect to it.
5. Make calls by dialing the number into your phone and hitting 'Send.' You will hear the call over the speakerphone's speakers and you can pick up incoming calls by pressing the 'Call' button on the speakerphone. Most cellular phones also support voice dialing. Consult your speakerphone and cell phone manual for exact instructions to set this up. Once configured, this will allow you to speak the name of a contact on your phone's contact list into the speakerphone's microphone and have that number dialed.
6. Set up your radio to carry the sound from your speakerphone. If your speakerphone has an FM transmitter, you will be able to choose a frequency for it to broadcast on. Turn on your car stereo, set it to FM and tune it to that frequency. When you make a call, you will hear it over your speakers; the speakerphone microphone will still be used to pick up your voice.
