BIG NEWS: FCC Releasing New 800 Exchanges

The SMS announced that the 16 exchanges in the “1-800″ toll free area code, previously reserved for RCC use (Radio Common Carrier) were being opened up for general use on February 15th. This means 160,000 potential 1-800 numbers however 138,000 of these numbers are still in use so ultimately about 22,000 new numbers will become available. We have compiled a list of the numbers being released and will be marking these numbers available to preorder on 1/15.

The 16 exchanges being released are as follows:
800-202-****
800-212-****
800-302-****
800-312-****
800-402-****
800-412-****
800-502-****
800-512-****
800-602-****
800-612-****
800-702-****
800-712-****
800-802-****
800-812-****
800-902-****
800-912-****

These exchanges were set aside when the current toll free number database was set up. They were supposed to be used for Radio Common Carrier (RCC) use. I believe this was supposed to be a wireless alternative to local land lines, something similar to the Nextel direct connect. They are however, more difficult to maintain and with the high demand for ‘1-800’ numbers, they have decided to phase out the RCC numbers and release the remaining unused numbers in these exchanges for regular toll free use.

We have compiled a list of the active RCC numbers so we can show on our website the ones which should become available and allow customers to request them. We will have the numbers available on 1/15 on our current lookup tool. We are excited to be the only source to check these numbers ahead of time!

Read more about the order process for these numbers and hurry because this is a very unique oppotunity and they definitely won’t last!

      Once again you have proven that your site is the most efficient and effective in the industry. In minutes, I was able to purchase and provision our call-tracking service to a vanity number for one of our clients. Thanks again!

      I discovered Bill's site while doing a search for Voice Mail services on the internet. The information contained on the site was indispensable.
      I contacted Bill with questions concerning my unique situation. He was prompt in his replies and guided me through the entire process.
      I consequently reserved my 1-888 number through his service and couldn't be happier with the results.

      I was very pleased with your service. It was easy to check if my vanity number was available. But what I appreciated more was the assistants in finding the appropriate phone service to transfer my number to. I was asked what my needs were and I was told the most reliable and cost efficient company to use. As a commercial real estate broker I don't have the time checking every phone service available. I even got a discount mentioning your name. Now I call that service.

      Your recent newsletter arrived in time to remind me of the outstanding advice you gave me a couple of months back when I first began thinking about getting a toll-free number. The mere fact that you responded to my e-mail question with a personal phone call impressed me! I was even more impressed by your availability and your advice. You could have easily sold me your services, but instead advised me to pursue a considered course of action and get back in touch whenever necessary. You can be certain the next time I need toll-free services, you're the only one I'll contact.

      Best wishes,
