RespOrgs manage toll-free number services, implementing carrier routing, portability decisions and offering enhanced telecommunications services. However, unless you choose an independent RespOrg, the entity controlling your toll-free numbers will be the carrier providing your toll-free services. This relationship can be dangerous to the customer in the event of a dispute or a desire to change carriers. Additionally, if your carrier is also your RespOrg, enhanced services like Least Cost Routing or Disaster Recovery which, by their nature, require the use of an alternative toll-free carrier, may not be readily available.
Because Independent RespOrgs are not affiliated with the underlying toll-free service provider, their only interest is offering the services that make it possible for customers to protect and control their numbers, enhance their brand, improve business efficiency, reduce risk and save money. Even better, the package of RespOrg and enhanced services generally cost well less than the out-of-pocket savings achieved through the purchase of the services. |
