What is a "toll-free telephone number"?
A toll-free telephone number is a phone number that allows the person calling to reach a business or organization without being charged for the call. The business or organization pays for the cost of the call instead. Toll-free numbers usually begin with specific area codes, such as 800, 888, or 877. They are commonly used by companies for customer service lines, support hotlines, or for marketing purposes, making it easier for customers to contact them without worrying about phone charges. These numbers are widely recognized and provide convenience for both the caller and the business.
