What is Toll Free Number?

A toll-free telephone number is a telephone number that bills the receiver a call rather than the user who makes the outgoing call. For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline is free of charge.

A toll-free number is identified by a dialing prefix similar to a geographic area code, - example, 800, 0800 or 1-800. The specific service access numbers vary for each country.
