STENTOR EXPANDS TOLL-FREE NUMBERS
By Adnews Staff
The popularity of toll-free numbers has grown in North America to the point where the Stentor group of companies launched a new prefix number last week, 877. The introduction of the new number opens up 7,980,000 new toll-free numbers in North America. Stentor expects to run out of 877 numbers by September 1999. At that time, the service access codes, 866 and 855 will be launched. Three other numbers, 844, 833 and 822 have been reserved for future use and will be introduced as required. Stentor introduced the 888 prefix in March 1996 and expects to run out of those numbers by September. It took almost 30 years to run out of 7.9 million 800 numbers in North America, the same inventory for the 888 number.
