Telecommunications is an ever-changing industry. One staple in the past four decades has been toll fee phone service. Demand in 2010 far exceeds anyones prediction when the service was first introduced. In fact, the value of a 1-800 number is now a necessity for any business. A toll free phone number lends credibility to any business, enhances customer service, and increases customer confidence. Studies show that sales can double and word of mouth referrals increase, making toll free service indispensable. In a constantly revolving industry, toll free remains very stable and consistent.

But some say rationing the numbers, as the federal government did in 1995, is not the answer and could have a negative impact on the business community.
