## Choosing between local and toll-free

**Choose local numbers when:**

* Establishing presence in a specific area
* Making many outbound calls (perceived as more trustworthy)
* Serving primarily local customers

**Choose toll-free numbers when:**

* Customer support is your main use case
* You want to appear larger and more established
* Serving customers nationwide
* You don't want callers to pay long-distance charges

Learn more in our blog post about [choosing between local and toll-free numbers](https://www.quo.com/blog/local-vs-toll-free-phone-number-for-business/).

## Vanity numbers

While we can't guarantee specific vanity numbers like 1-800-FLOWERS, you can:

* Search for numbers with specific digit sequences
* Look for patterns that match your business (e.g., "DOGS" = 3647)
* Use [Number Barn](https://www.numberbarn.com/) to find vanity numbers and port them to Quo, formerly OpenPhone
