It’s hard to believe that the last pool of toll free area code numbers (the 866 numbers) were released for a whole decade ago! And during that decade, toll free phone service has become more popular than in the previous three decades since its inception. It is time for new round of numbers. Subscribers are tired of searching for a good available custom number. And why should they? There are millions of possible toll free phone numbers that could be made available. We hope the 855 and 844 numbers are unveiled sooner rather than later.

Just how many quality custom toll free phone numbers remain available for new subscribers? This is a question that pops up frequently and an issue of constant concern for those of us in the telecommunications industry. With a limited number of numerical possibilities and increased interest in obtaining the remaining toll free phone numbers, the supply could eventually be gone. But the good news is two-fold. First, there are still providers that can supply a good custom number with any of the four area codes (800, 888, 877 and 866) and there is an anticipated turn-about within the next year or so. New numbers (the new 855 area codes) are expected to be released to replenish supplies.
