There have been many news reports recently about organizations losing their toll free number only to have it snagged up by a sex hotline. It’s called Mass Misdial Marketing or MMM for short. It’s a term coined by “Earl Bannon” of the Toll-free Advisory Committee in 2002.
SMSGOV has been pushing a grassroots federal bill to limit the acceptable uses of Mass Misdial Marketing. SMSGOV has been in contact with multiple news sources and popular internet bloggers familiarizing them with Mass Misdial Marketing and steering them toward pushing the agenda that Mass Misdial Marketing should be limited.
We’d like to thank Earl Bannon for his work on Mass Misdial Marketing and for everyone involved for educating the industry on MMM.

Gas prices nationwide dipped this week and are expected to continue to drop through the Memorial Day weekend, prompting more holiday travel than initially expected. And along with these travel plans, we expect to see a boon in toll free telephone number usage this week. 1-800 numbers will be used to make plans for hotels, air travel, and for tickets to shows and major league baseball games. Toll free and travel plans go hand in hand and with the (slight) decrease in gasoline prices this week, Memorial Day travel plans are on the rise.

We all know there are hundreds of federal toll free phone numbers to offer resources and information. But in recent years the state offices have implemented toll free numbers to provide information on weather, travel conditions, social services and more. And it doesn’t stop there. We have noticed that some local communities throughout the nation, especially locales that are vacation spots or tourist destinations also now have 1-800 numbers available.
