Scuttlebutt Suggests 855 in May

May 1 is just three days away. We are all waiting for more information on the 855 toll free area codes, rumored to be released as early as May. Nothing definite yet but we hope the scuttlebutt is true. New toll free area codes are needed to address the growing demand for these numbers. We hope the FCC unveils the new numbers soon, allowing millions of subscribers to sign on for new custom toll free phone numbers.

Giving It Up

If you have a toll free number that you are not using, you may soon be asked to give that number up for someone who may get more use out of it. Of course, many people don’t want to do this and are trying to urge the government to release new area codes instead. What would you vote for?
