Our toll free numbers aren't able to be reached from anywhere that you need to dial a country code to reach the US. There are some dial around codes that you can use for certain countries to pay for the cost to get a call to the US and still access a toll free number here. But there is no universal solution for that. You can also forward our toll free calls basically anywhere in the world too. It’s not even that much money to forward calls to many modern countries around the world. But it doesn’t sound like that is necessarily what you are thinking of. In terms of routing calls to different numbers you can only do that enhanced voicemail services such as Telcan.net’s Callture service. They are also good for international forwarding too. Regular toll free service just forwards the calls to a specific number, but the enhanced voicemail services send the calls to a voicemail system that can control and route calls much more than regular toll free service. I hope that helps. Bill Quimby<ul></ul> Bob,

For example, a local painting company owns an 800 number in Texas but does not deal nationally let alone internationally; Is it possible to open this number up for a Canadian business if the incoming calls originate from Canadian area codes?

That doesn’t mean it’s likely because it’s certainly not very likely or easy to work that type of situation out or to make it last. It’s not possible to split it completely but it’s not impossible to come up with a sharing arrangement. We don’t work that out because it’s harder than most customers would think. But it’s not impossible. Bill<ul></ul> Gordon,
