ISTR +1-888-xxxx being the international equivalent of 1-800-xxxxClose, but no. The prefixes for international "caller pays" calls to US toll free numbers are: US Int'l (800) xxx-xxxx -> +1 880 xxx xxxx (888) xxx-xxxx -> +1 881 xxx xxxx (877) xxx-xxxx -> +1 882 xxx xxxx
Watch out: http://www.areacode-info.com/history/2004.htm (top of the page) I know that's not an "official" source of information, but this page does claim that they intend to deallocate those area codes soon. I suspect it is because, as the number of toll free area codes increases (866, 855, 844, etc..!), it's becoming a burden to have to allocate a "mirror" code in each case as well. Anyway, I believe it's possible to have a toll free number that's only dialable in one area and have the same number allocated to someone else who has a toll free number only dialable from some other area, as long as the areas don't overlap. So who would the international caller reach in that case? -Phil
