As supplies of new toll free phone numbers increase in the future, we will likely see a swift decrease in the improper and illegal transfer of these valuable numbers. Once the 855 numbers become available, approved toll free providers will have an easier time and the toll free black market, as it has been called, will diminish.

We hope these new 855 numbers will be released soon. Brokering and hoarding practices need to cease and these new numbers will help.
