Today, CallFire released a new feature which enables you to search for phone numbers not only by area code, but by local rate center, otherwise known as local exchange. For anyone unfamiliar with this industry term, the exchange is basically the first three digits in a phone number after the area code. A rate center is a determined geographic area used by local exchange carriers to set rate boundaries for billing and issuing phone numbers.

The last one was slacking off tweeting as the dog. Just kidding. Designing CallFire 3.0 is proving to be a project for more than one designer, since it's going to completely revamp our dashboard -- making it spiffy and sparkly and bursting with unicorns and rainbows. (No, but really, it's going to be amazing.)
So to help us with wrangling unicorns, we have hired Jenny McClaine.

Yesterday, the CallFire marketing team decided to head to Pourtal Wine Tasting Bar right off the Santa Monica Promenade as part of our All-Night-Monday tradition. For those of you wondering what that is, it's pretty simple. Santa Monica is home to at least 5 places that I've discovered have all-night happy hours on Mondays (and Pourtal is one of them). It sure makes starting off the week more fun. But back to the topic at hand...
We get a lot of questions around how our local and toll-free phone numbers work. Hopefully this post helps to answer them.
Thank you to Bill Hughes, who has put in lots of painstaking work to make this IVR tutorial (and then remake it after people tested it and gave him feedback). I hope it helps you all navigate the IVR Designer and create your own IVR's easier! Let us know if you have any comments, suggestions, or questions.
