Toll-Free Numbers are usually associated with businesses that offer services over the phone. They're often used by companies that sell products or provide information on how to use those products. Toll-free numbers were first introduced in North America in 1967, the same year the Beatles released Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Thurgood Marshall became the first black Supreme Court justice. When toll-free numbers were introduced they were primarily used by airlines and hotels. AT&T was the carrier for all toll-free calls when first introduced. Now virtually all carriers provide toll-free numbers.
There are seven toll-free area codes. They are:
An 844 number is a telephone number that starts with 844. It's also known as a "Toll-Free" number because it allows callers to make calls without paying any fees.
An 888 number is a telephone number that starts with 844. It's also known as a "Toll-Free" number because it allows callers to make calls without paying any fees.
An 877 number is a telephone number that starts with 844. It's also known as a "Toll-Free" number because it allows callers to make calls without paying any fees.
An 866 number is a telephone number that starts with 844. It's also known as a "Toll-Free" number because it allows callers to make calls without paying any fees.
