A group of us waiting recently for a telecommunications conference to begin noticed during a local cable television broadcast that at every commercial break (five during a 30 minute program) there was at least one commercial advertising a toll free phone number. During one break, all four commercials had a toll free phone number announced and/or listed at the bottom of the screen. The companies advertising ranged from national companies to a locally-based fitness service. More proof of how many businesses use toll free nowadays. It is a marketing necessity.

Without one, companies have to go through the trials and tribulations of misprinted ads, phone listings, business cards, not mention an existing customer trying to reach you using an old area code only to find out that it’s now disconnected!

With all the buzz about the possible release of the 855 area codes to add to the existing 866, 877, 888 and 800 toll free phone numbers, there is speculation that the government could release two area codes at once–the 855 and the 844 supplies. A simultaneous double release of new toll free numbers would allow for a huge stock of new, quality, toll free phone numbers for subscribers to choose from. This would be a great boon to the industry.
