The Time For 855 Is Now
Posted on June 19, 2010 by smsgov
It has been a decade since a new toll free telephone area code has been released. The last time a new toll free telephone number was released, stock was limited, interest was growing and the economy was changing. The same situation is happening now and a new toll free area code, specifically the 855 numbers, would generate millions of new toll free possibilities for companies and for personal use throughout the United States and Canada. Discussions about the imminent release of 855 are abundant and we hope that the numbers are allowed into the system soon.

Posted on June 18, 2010 by smsgov
Economic stress in late 2009 and the first half of 2010 has led to the closings of thousands of retail stores. Nonetheless, many of these companies have stayed profitable through phone and web sales.

And these days, large chain stores like WalMart and Target offer shoppers the convenience of buying over the phone (800-966-6546 WalMart; 800-440-0680, Target).
