How many good, memorable, toll free phone numbers remain available for new subscribers? This is an issue of constant concern for those of us in the telecommunications industry.

A reminder of the need for new toll free area codes: more than two-thirds of the available supply of 800, 888, 877, and 866 numbers are taken and millions of new subscribers are registering every year. Business owners who wait much longer to obtain a number might find themselves out of luck. In a competitive market, a toll free number is a valuable commodity for every business. To manage fair distribution of the numbers remaining, federal agencies have cracked down on the illegal sale of 800 numbers and the hoarding, or stockpiling, of numbers and this is helping somewhat. The real solution, many say, is the release of reserved toll free numbers.

It is a relief to hear the buzz that new toll free phone numbers will likely be released within a year or two. Telecommunications industry sources say this new supply of numbers could thwart an embargo on new toll free phone service in the United States. Facing a severe shortage of available 800-numbers coupled with a skyrocketing demand for toll free service and an emerging black market for 800 numbers, insiders say officials felt they may have needed to impose an embargo. But with an expected turn-about, the embargo may not be necessary.
