How Do You Find Out Who A Toll-Free Number Belongs To?
Toll-free subscribers pay significant premiums so that others may contact them directly without having to pay for a long-distance call. Toll-free numbers begin with 800, 866, 877 or 888. Unfortunately, calls placed from such toll-free numbers often show up on caller ID devices without further identification. Fortunately, free databases provide information about such numbers, including ownership. Review your voice mail or answering machine for messages accompanying the call from the number in question. Many toll-free subscribers leave messages identifying themselves and explaining the reasons for their calls. Conduct a reverse number search. Enter the number as it appears on your caller ID in the search field of your preferred Internet search engine. Look up the number in a toll-free directory. One such directory is the National Tollfree Directory, which contains advertising listings of business toll-free numbers submitted by businesses (which means not all toll-free numbers are listed)
