New Toll Free Subscribers On The Rise.

In recent months, the toll free phone service business has seen a steady increase in new subscribers. It appears to be in response to recent reports about the rapid decline of available 800 numbers, coupled with growing public awareness about the effectiveness of having a 1-800 number.

Whatever the reasons, a steady stream of requests are pouring in for toll free 800, 888, 877, and 866 numbers. But toll free providers like Tollfreenumber.ORG still have a very large selection of available numbers, so new subscribers don’t have to be concerned quite yet about finding the perfect number. Still, it is advisable to get a toll free number soon before numbers become too scarce.

In recent years, reports indicate that an average of 8,000 new toll free numbers have been assigned daily. If this number continues to increase, and the reserved 855 numbers are not released, the shortage of available numbers will eventually have a detrimental impact on new businesses.

It’s anyone’s guess when the 855 numbers will be released by the FCC—some say it could be several years. Meanwhile more than two-thirds of available numbers have been taken and millions of new numbers are being registered each year.

The popularity of the 1-800 number, introduced in the late 1960s, led the FCC to add the new pre-fixes 888 and 877 in the mid-1990s. When availability of those numbers became scarce in 2000, the 866 pre-fix was added. The stockpile is once again low while subscribers flock to obtain a 1-800 number.

So, the best advice is to make sure you contact a provider like Tollfreenumber.ORG who can offer you an ample selection of numbers—don’t settle for an inferior number by using a company that can’t meet your needs.
