Toll-Free Numbers
A toll-free number is a special telephone that enables callers to reach a business or individual without being charged for the call. The toll-free subscriber pays for the incoming calls. If you’re interested in a toll-free number, please keep the following facts in mind:
- Toll-free numbers forward to one assigned phone number.
- Toll-free numbers are unpublished by default. You can add your toll-free number to your telephone directory listing for an additional monthly fee.
- Telephone numbers can be ported from other providers.
- New host telephone numbers can be assigned to a toll-free number.
- The terminating number cannot be located outside of the Midco network area.
Installation charges may apply for a toll-free number, depending on the number requested. The toll-free long-distance usage rate is the same as the current standard long-distance rate.
Some businesses may want to limit incoming toll-free calls to callers from specific geographic regions. This can reduce the cost associated with mistaken, unnecessary or fraudulent calls. At Midco, your toll-free number can be set up to receive calls from:
- All callers
- North Dakota only
- South Dakota only
- North Dakota and South Dakota only
- The region that includes South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana
- U.S. only (all 50 states)
- U.S. (all 50 states) and Canada
- U.S. (all 50 states) and the Caribbean
- U.S. (all 50 states), Canada and the Caribbean
Toll-free numbers cannot accept international calls, with the exception of those originating from regions that participate in the North American dialing plan. Visit www.nanpa.com for additional details.
