In short, to make it easier for someone to reach me. My toll-free number will ring both my home, and cellular phone at the same time. This will allow you to reach me no matter what, and since you are calling a toll-free number, your carrier should not be charging you outgoing rates. In more than 2 years, no one has called my toll-free number. Unfortunately, my home phone number isn’t ideal in the way I would want things, but at this time, there is no option for resolution.
If you are curious, a toll-free number is $3.95+incoming rates. The incoming rates is dependent on the “area code” which is not really accurate anymore since you can get numbers in various area codes all without even having to visit the area code. The per minute rates are as follows:
- Alaska: 23¢
- American Samoa: 7¢
- Canada: 3¢
- Guam: 10¢
- Hawaii: 7¢
- Northern Mariana Islands: 7¢
- Puerto Rico: 7¢
- US 48: 2¢
- US Virgin Islanads: 7¢
