Heard from many colleagues over yesterday’s post about the possibility of new 855 area codes released in 2010. Many believe it could happen, some think toward the end of the year or early 2011. But all agreed that there is a need for a bolstered supply of toll free phone numbers. Everyone also agrees that the new numbers will be scooped up fast and that the release of an additional area code–in other words simultaneous release of 855 and maybe 844–would be the best way to help the industry and enhance business owners ability to obtain new custom numbers.

Many in this industry are still very nervous about the depleted stock of good available toll free phone numbers–even with the possibility of the new release of the 855 toll free area codes expected next year. The nervousness is common and a reasonable reaction considering there has been no formal announcement about the launch of the new numbers. A fresh supply of toll free numbers are desperately needed within this industry and many of us are waiting anxiously for confirmation that we will have an ample new supply by 2011.

There appears to be some mixed messages circulating out there about whether the dire need for new toll free phone numbers will result in a dreaded rationing program. Some say it could still occur–and it just might. But the good news is that the industry expects the long-awaited release of new toll free numbers (presumably the 855 area code numbers) and that increased supply of open numbers could prevent rationing, reduce the black market for premium numbers, and will open the doors for thousands and thousands of subscribers to obtain a creative new phone number. Stay tuned.
