Since reporting here last month that rumors were flying about the imminent release of 855 toll free area codes, we have been bombarded with questions and demands for follow-up information. So far, we have heard nothing definite. With the majority of existing numbers already taken, the need for new numbers is growing. Numbers with the 855 (and 844 and so on..) area codes are being held in reserve for this specific purpose. It’s been a decade since new toll free phone numbers have been released for public use and demand grows every year. It’s time.
