855 Toll Free

Post by tbrummell »

Is 855 toll free going to be added to your dial plan as a toll free route anytime soon? Currently getting 'Betty' telling me my call is not covered by my tarrif plan.

Let me look into this for you!

Are a lot of 855 numbers starting to hit the market now? I still haven't come across one myself yet, since reading about them earlier in 2010.

Define "a lot". LoL Just one being active means it needs to be in the routing tables. And yes, they are out there now. I just ordered a vanity 855 number and was trying to test it.
