## 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

## 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
## FAQs
Yes! There's no limit to how many phone numbers you can have on your account. Add as many as your business needs.
When you delete a phone number, you permanently lose access to all messages and calls associated with that number. Make sure to export any important data before deletion.
Currently, we only offer US and Canadian numbers, plus North American toll-free numbers. We cannot provide new Puerto Rican numbers, but you can port existing ones.
Toll-free numbers support sending and receiving SMS, MMS (pictures), videos, GIFs, files, and reactions. However, they don't currently support group messaging.
