Question 1

What does Requestable mean? Can I get it?

Accepted Answer

That means it’s with another vanity number vendor that you can negotiate with, and perhaps purchase the number from. That’s the most expensive way to get a number, typically thousands of dollars. The available ones are just $49. More at how much NOT to offer.

Question 2

How do I request a vendor's number, and what happens next?

Accepted Answer

Just click on the blue requestable number and it should bring you to a form. The request form sends Bill your information, and he’ll dig into it and give you an idea of what it’ll be. If you want him to, he’ll then contact them to see if he can get a price, and it costs nothing to find out.

Question 3

How much will it cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the vendor, but most run in the thousands, more for generic words. It’s free to ask, with no obligation. Tap it, leave your name and email, and Bill will come back with a real price, usually within a day.

Question 4

If a vendor has it, would I own it or rent it?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the vendor. Most will sell them for the right money, usually thousands. A few only rent them by the month and keep them, but Bill can often negotiate a release with some prepayment. The green and yellow ones you own with no strings.

Question 5

How does rent to own work?

Accepted Answer

It’s rent to own over 72 months. There’s no term or commitment, but you’re paying it off like a mortgage rather than renting it, so every monthly dollar goes toward owning it. After 72 payments you OWN it with no strings, and you have a buyout at any point. Forwarding to your phone is included. More at should you rent a vanity number?

Question 6

Is it $79 a month forever?

Accepted Answer

No. It’s $79 a month, about $2.63 a day, and every payment counts toward owning it. After 48 payments it’s yours, $3,792 in all, or prepay the rest any time. Forwarding to any phone is included.

Question 7

Can I cancel rent to own any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel and walk away at any time, and you also have the option to prepay the rest of the months and transfer it away with no strings. You are totally in control, with the ability to walk away as well as the ability to port the number away if you need that too. That’s why Bill says rent to own gives you the best of both worlds.
