If 1-800 is a toll free area code then could you tell me what are the area code assignments...like 1-700?

Question

Where can I find a listing of area code assignments?

Answer 1

52. What is area code 700 used for?



Area code 700 was assigned in 1983 on the eve of the introduction of long distance competition in the US. The intent was that interexchange carriers could use 700 numbers to implement new services quickly. When a 700 number is dialed, the local exchange carrier processing the call routes it to the presubscribed interexchange carrier, unless the caller has overridden presubscription by dialing 101XXXX before the number. Thus each interexchange carrier has access to all 7.92 million 700 numbers. 700 numbers are different from all other North American Numbering Plan numbers because the destinations are not unique, and, in fact, depend on the network the caller has selected.

Answer 2

I think that its because 800 numbers are the most well known toll-free numbers(meaning you don't have to pay) and even though 866 numbers are toll free too, most people don't know that ... so i guess he just wants to remind us to call 866 not 800 .

Answer 3

Do a search on the net, or call an operator.
