An 877 phone number provides your customers, clients, or stakeholders a toll-free way to contact you without having to worry about long-distance fees.
The 877 toll-free area code is part of the North American Number Plan (NANP) program with over 20 countries and regions participating, including the United States, Canada, Trinidad, and Grenada.
Anyone from these countries can call an 877 number for free. Plus, the 877 toll-free area code is not tied to a certain location, so it’s a great option if you have customers nationwide across the country or internationally. However, even if you’re located outside of North America, you can still sign up for an 877 number with OpenPhone.
It only takes four steps to get started with OpenPhone’s toll-free numbers.
If you’re expanding your business nationwide, having a VoIP toll-free number with an 877 area code can give your customers a strong first impression. Here’s more on why you should get an 877 number:
If you're looking to expand nationwide, an 877 phone number can make your small business appear more established and reputable. Whether you're a solopreneur or have a large team, an 877 toll-free number can help you appear like a larger business.
A toll-free number encourages customers to contact your team when they need you without the concern of long-distance fees.

While you may be unfamiliar with the 877 toll-free code, you’ve probably heard of an 800, 844, 866, or 888 number. They’re toll-free prefixes that tell your clients they can call you, and you’ll cover the cost. All the codes work the same way and serve the same purpose.
There are currently seven unique toll-free codes to ensure there are enough toll-free numbers to go around. In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) created additional toll-free codes when it ran out of 800 numbers.
As the demand for toll-free numbers went up, more codes were added. Newer options like the 833 and 844 toll-free codes ensure any company can get a toll-free phone number when they need it.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for managing and providing toll-free numbers, which are typically distributed through a “Responsible Organization” (RespOrgs). RespOrgs reserve, manage, and distribute toll-free numbers to business owners on a first-come, first-served basis.
OpenPhone is an FCC-approved telecommunications provider of toll-free numbers. When you get an 877 number through OpenPhone, you know you’re getting a reliable number to manage your calls and texts.
From the caller’s perspective, a toll-free phone number functions like any other phone number. The only difference between calling a toll-free and a local number is there are no long-distance charges for the caller — from a cell phone or a landline.
When you purchase a toll-free phone number from OpenPhone, you own it forever. You can take your number to a different phone service provider if you choose to.
Sometimes toll-free numbers are mistaken for scams or spam if the customer doesn't recognize the number. Here’s how you can prevent that from happening:
Collect consent: Provide multiple options for customers to opt in to receive texts from you. Use website forms or emails, or share a consent request over the phone.
Notify customers of your number: When on the phone, tell customers they can expect to see calls or texts from your 877 number. Ask them to add your phone number to their contacts.
Use a local number: Use toll-free and local area codes to reach your customers. Use a toll-free number to receive customer support phone calls, but reach out to customers with a more familiar local number instead.
