Several news reports in recent months outlined problems with consumers who thought were calling a toll free phone number but in fact were calling a standard pay number. The problems lay in two main areas–either that the caller was not calling the approved 800, 888, 877 or 866 area code toll free numbers. Or, they were calling numbers that had a one of those number combinations as part of the phone number but with a different area code (for instance 631-888-1234) The 800, 888, 877 or 866 area codes are the ONLY toll free numbers here in the United States.

There is a lot of speculation on the amount of toll free numbers obtained every week. There is no absolute figure but best we can figure about 8,000 toll free phone number are taken each day.translating to more than 50,000 a week. Far less are being returned to the system and no new numbers have been made available. This means that there is a growing demand, but no new stock.

That is why we are advocating for the release of the 855 area codes which will allow millions of additional options for toll free subscribers.
