When the very first 800 number was given out back in the early 1960's, no one dreamed the we would ever run out of numbers. How could we possibly go through 7.6 million combinations?
Well we have! In fact, by the spring of 1996, every last 800 number in North America will be assigned or in use... and the demand will still be growing!
However, there's no need to panic. The new 888 toll-free code will provide millions of extra toll-free numbers.
