Buy 844 Numbers
A phone number with an 844 area code is a common sight in North America. And this is because this number is a toll free number for the country, making businesses in the region more accessible to residents. This number serves businesses and corporations in Canada, the United States, and countries in the Pacific and Caribbean located within the North American continent.
844 Toll Free Numbers
An 844 area code number is not a geographic area code code but is primarily used in the United States, Canada, and countries in the Pacific and Caribbean that fall under the North American continent. This includes popular states in the US like New York, California, Texas, Florida, and Canadian metropolitan areas like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.
844 is a US toll free number that charges the receiver instead of the caller. This makes it an ideal contact number so that customers can connect with an enterprise without paying any fees. These numbers start with a distinct three-digit code, namely 8XX. 800 was the original toll free number but because of a growing need of toll free numbers for businesses, the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) had to create more toll free codes. The 844 area code toll free number came into existence in 2013, as a result. Other toll free codes are 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 833.
Benefits of 844 Numbers
Getting a toll free 844 area code number for your business will open a free way for customers to contact you. And since they don’t have to pay any extra fees, even for long-distance calls, they are more likely to make those phone calls. And since toll free numbers are generally associated with large, successful corporations, your company can develop a similar professional image.
But more importantly, toll free numbers with call forwarding services—that is, they forward incoming calls to numbers of your choice—can give you the benefit of additional communication tools. For example, when you purchase a toll free business number from United World Telecom, you get to use features like:
- Interactive voice response (IVR)
- Unlimited extensions
- Customized greetings
- Personalized voicemail
- Call recording
- SMS, fax, and voicemail forwarding
- Time of day routing

These tools can be used to further solidify your company’s image as well as provide customized caller experience to clients reaching out to your service.
