There was an outfit in my town who had all the 1800 numbers like that for each division they are now reduced to 3 men 1 crew operation from 30 employees. I would guess the gimic telephone numbers dont work

You pay a monthly fee to use their 1-800 number, I hung up on the guy, it's a joke.

A potential customer calls the 1800MOWMYLAWN and then is prompted to enter their zip code and is then transferred to the corresponding service provider.
I think thats how it works.

i'm a 1-800-lawn-cut provider.the service you talk about is probably the same thing as i have. the customer calls in & puts in the zip code that you buy & the call is forwarded to you.with 1-800-lawn-cut only one lawn care company per zip code.
