Since the United States and Canada are included in the North American Numbering Plan, toll-free calls are always free for callers in those countries. Your leads and clients won’t have to pay if your team members call them.
Any fees are passed down to your business — though with a VoIP service provider like OpenPhone — which offers free unlimited calling in the US and Canada — you can avoid unnecessary fees altogether.
For callers, dialing a toll-free telephone number is no different than dialing a local number.
The 844 area code isn’t associated with any specific city or region. One of the benefits of having an 844 number is you can appeal to a broad area of North America since it’s free for callers in multiple countries to call that number.
The 844 area code is one of seven toll-free area code numbers. The others are 800, 833, 855, 866, 877, and 888. All phone numbers with these area code prefixes work the same way, allowing callers to reach you for free.
Many businesses opt for 800 and 888 numbers because they were the first toll-free codes introduced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This means they’re more recognizable to customers as numbers that are free to call.
However, the benefit of the 844 area code is its availability. 800 numbers have low inventory. Today, less-used numbers like those with 844 and 855 area codes are still widely available. You can choose from a greater variety of digit combinations. This makes it easier to get a vanity number (like 1-844-ACADEMY) that’s easy for callers to memorize.
Toll-free telephone numbers are often associated with scammers and spam SMS messages. Here are a few ways you can stand out:
Collect consent clearly: Give your customers multiple options to opt in to text communications from you. Use website forms or emails, or share a consent request over the phone.
Give customers a heads up: Let customers know in advance over the phone that they can expect a call or text back from your 844 number.
Use a local number: Switch effortlessly between toll-free and local area codes to reach your customers. Use a toll-free number to receive customer support calls and reach out to customers with a local number.
Yes! 844 numbers can be used for two-way text communication.
