What is a Toll-Free Number?

A toll-free number is a phone number that is free for callers to reach by any phone (including pay phones). This is because the costs to connect to the phone number are borne by the number’s owner.

Many providers offer toll-free minutes in their packages. They will then charge per-minute over the allotment. Nextiva charges 2.5 cents per minute if you exceed your pool of toll-free minutes.
