Question

I'm trying to dial a toll free no. 866 in the USA , will it be toll free from a business no. in the uk ?

Answer 1

we dont have toll free numbers in this country

Answer 2

You can dial American toll-free numbers (800, 888, 877, 866) from the U.K., but you will be charged at your normal international rate, just as if you had called a regular American area code.

In fact with some carriers you will hear a message (from the U.S. end) warning you of this before the call rings, and telling you to hang up if you don't want to be charged.

Answer 3

The company listing the toll free number pays for the calls, therefore, they are already paid for by the company you are calling...regardless of where the call is originated.

Answer 4

it will be toll free only if the company that subscribes to the number allows international calls.

if they do, you will need to dial the AT&T operator and have them complete the call.

I do not know about the UK, but I have called US toll free from China, Hong Kong, Guam, and Japan. The number for the AT&T operator is in the local phone directory or in my case, the hotel front desk had the number.

Answer 5

No, it isn't possible to call toll free to America because there is no reciprocal charging system
