Toll-free numbers are numbers that begin with one of the following three-digit codes: 800, 888, 877, 866, 855 or 844. Although 800, 888, 877, 866, 855 and 844 are all toll-free codes, they are not interchangeable. Calls to each toll-free number are routed to a particular local telephone number.

Is a 1 800 number free internationally?
