The reported increase in attempts to profit from the illegal sales of 800, 888, 877, and 866 numbers are partly in response to rapidly dwindling supplies of quality toll free numbers. Experts advise anyone interested in obtaining an 800 number should legally obtain a toll free number through a reliable toll free service provider to avoid hefty fines and/or losing their established phone numbers.

In 1994, the United States Congress approved the Communications for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The regulations were intended to preserve a wiretapping law put in place in 1968 and allow wiretapping over digital phone networks. CALEA requires telecommunications carriers to modify their equipment, facilities, and services to aid surveillance capabilities. Initially there was some question as to whether this would apply to VoIP—Voice Over Internet Protocol service—but in 2005 the courts ruled that indeed VoIP must comply with CALEA.
