THE CONCEPT
What Are Toll-Free Telephone Numbers?
A toll-free telephone number is a phone number that customers can call without paying call charges. The business receiving the call covers the cost of the inbound call, making it easier for customers to reach sales, support, reservations, and service teams.
Local toll-free numbers, such as a 1800 number in Australia or a 0800 number in the UK, are country-specific and free to call from within that country. International toll-free numbers let callers in other countries reach you free of charge, either through an International Toll-Free Service (ITFS) number routed to your team anywhere in the world, or a Universal International Freephone Number (UIFN, +800) that works across multiple participating countries.
A virtual toll-free number isn't tied to a physical phone line. With modern cloud communications, it can be routed to web browsers, mobile phones, desk phones, contact centers, SIP connections, and distributed teams worldwide, without local hardware or offices.

CLOUD COMMUNICATIONS
How Toll-Free Calling Works
A virtual toll-free phone number, whether local or international, lets customers call your business free of charge. Calls are carried over our global voice network and routed to your chosen destination, whether that's a contact center, PBX, or cloud communications platform.
When a customer dials a toll-free number (such as 800 or 888 in the US, 1800 in Australia, or 0800 in the UK), the call goes through a fast background process:

02
Forwarding
The network looks up your routing instructions, such as business hours, department, or language, and sends the call across our secure infrastructure to your chosen destination.
03
Connection
The call connects in seconds, so customers reach the right team while your business covers the inbound cost.

FAQ
Toll-Free Number FAQs
What is a toll-free number?
A toll-free number is a phone number customers can call free of charge, with the business paying for inbound calls. It's commonly used for customer support, sales enquiries, and bookings.
What is a virtual toll-free number?
A virtual toll-free number is a cloud-based toll-free number that isn't tied to a physical phone line. Customers call it free of charge, and calls are routed over the internet to your contact center, PBX, SIP device, mobile, or browser. You can offer a virtual toll-free phone number in any market without local hardware or offices.
What is a toll-free call?
A toll-free call is a call where the business receiving the call pays the telecommunications charges rather than the caller. This allows customers to contact businesses for support, sales, bookings, and other enquiries without incurring call costs.
How do I get a 1800 number for my business?
Choose your country and number, complete business verification, place your order and pay once it's approved, then activate the number and route calls to your team. The same process applies to 800 and 0800 numbers, and you can buy a toll-free number online through the M800 Service Hub.
What is the difference between an 1800 number and an 800 number?
Both are toll-free formats that let customers call businesses free of charge. The prefix depends on the country: 1800 is used in markets such as Australia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; 800 in the US, Canada, and Hong Kong; and 0800 in the UK, New Zealand, and Germany. In the US, 800 numbers are dialed with a leading 1, so they're often written as 1-800.
Are 1800 numbers free internationally?
Usually not. 1800 and 800 numbers are country-specific, and callers from other countries generally can't dial them free of charge. For one number that works across several countries, use a UIFN (+800), or get local toll-free numbers in each market and route them all to the same team.
Can I route toll-free calls to my existing phone system?
Yes. Toll-free calls can be routed to existing PBX systems, SIP trunks, contact centers, desk phones, mobile phones, and distributed teams through cloud-based call routing.

M800 supports toll-free numbers across more than 200 countries and regions, helping businesses establish local accessibility in global markets.
