Finding the perfect number for your business is easier than ever with Accelerate Networks. On our website you can use the Numbers tab to search through hundreds of thousands of phone numbers instantly. Type in the area code of the number you want, and then look through our inventory. 206 is our favorite area code for local Seattle businesses, but 425 is a great option too.

Easy to Remember

Within the search results you find that we break numbers down into three categories: Standard phone numbers in grey, Premium numbers in blue, and Executive numbers in green. Standard phone numbers are cheap, but they’re hard to remember with 3 or fewer repeating digits. Premium numbers solve this problem by offering you 4 or 5 repeating digits. In rare cases we’re able to find numbers with 6 or more repeating digits; we call them Executive phone numbers. (Less than one in one thousand phone numbers meets the criteria to be an Executive number.)

We recommend that businesses use an Executive level phone number as the primary number they list on their website or in contact info because they are easy for customers and staff to remember. Premium numbers are ideal for satellite offices or phones in specific physical locations. Finally, if you are picking out a phone number for a spare desk phone in an unused cube then you’ll probably just want a Standard phone number, as no one will remember it anyway.

Area code first

Within an area code, phone numbers are broken down into subgroups based on the middle three digits. Those groups are then mapped to specific rate centers or locations like Bainbridge Island or Richmond Beach by phone companies. In our search results you’ll see that we list these locations next to the Add to Cart button.

Sequential Numbers

When you need to buy a large series of phone numbers it can be useful if they’re all similar or even sequentially numbered. To help you find those groups of numbers we have a Sequential button that will reorganize the page to show you groups of Sequentially numbered phone numbers. If multiple numbers shown on the page are sequential, then they’ll all share the same background color to help you pick them out.

Location, location, location

If location means everything to you, then use the Location button to sort and group the search result by the rate center or location of the phone numbers. We even give you filtering options so you can review just the phone numbers available for a specific place like Des Moines or Vashon.

Everyone has been harmed by a late night commercial theme song that includes a phone number. 877 Cash Now or 1 800 FLOWERS are good examples of the sort of phone number that maps to a word. The Accelerate Networks Numbers tab can help you search for a number with a word in it. Just type the word in and click the green Search button. Look at the phone numbers that have “hats” in them!
