Can I still get a toll free phone number with an “800” prefix?
It is possible. However, it is more likely that you will receive an 877 or 866 prefix because of their greater availability. The only “800” prefix numbers that are available are ones that have been “re-cycled.” When a customer with an “800” number abandons it or turns it in, the number becomes available to new toll free customers. While an “800” number may be more recognizable as being a toll free, since it is “re-cycled,” it may also expose you to calls trying to reach the number’s previous owner.
