855 isn’t associated with any specific location. Since 855 phone numbers are easily accessible to callers in many geographic areas, businesses use them to connect with customers throughout North America.
If you haven’t heard of an 855 area code, you’ve probably heard of an 800 or 888 number. Or perhaps you’ve seen an 833, 844, 866, or 877 area code. All of these codes are toll-free prefixes that signal to your clients that you’ll cover the cost or any long-distance charges of the phone call.
There’s no functional difference between any of these area codes. They all serve the same purpose.
In 1996, the 888 area code was created after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which assigns toll-free numbers, ran out of 800 numbers. More codes were created later as 888 numbers grew in popularity. So, while toll-free phone numbers are popular, newer options like the 833 and 855 area codes ensure you’ll never have to fight to get one.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) controls who receives a toll-free number. Toll-free numbers are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and they’re typically distributed through a “Responsible Organization” (RespOrgs). RespOrgs reserve, manage, and distribute toll-free numbers to business owners.
OpenPhone is an FCC-approved provider of toll-free numbers, which means that when you get an 855 number with OpenPhone, you can expect a reliable number to manage your calls and texts.
When it comes to the caller, a toll-free phone number works exactly like any other phone number. You simply dial to get connected with a customer service rep or other personnel. The only difference between dialing a toll-free number and a local number is that long-distance calls are free — even when placed from a landline.
You own the 855 number you pay for as long as you remain in good standing with your phone provider. Although the FCC sets the rules for getting and using toll-free numbers, it’s not involved with the actual assignment of a number and cannot access the number database. If you decide to switch providers, you can take your assigned number with you.
They can be expensive depending on the toll-free number service provider. At OpenPhone, we’ve made them cost-effective so you don’t have to think twice about providing a toll-free number option for your customers.
Yes! You can have two-way conversations with your customers with an 855 number. With OpenPhone, you can boost customer satisfaction and provide a better customer experience with advanced SMS messaging features like scheduled texts, auto-replies, and MMS messaging.
