Updated over 2 weeks ago

Short Answer

In some cases, yes, but not always.

Many toll-free numbers are designed to accept calls only from within their home country.
International calls to toll-free numbers may not be supported.

Are Toll-Free Numbers Free on Talk360?

No.

All calls made with Talk360 require call credit, including toll-free numbers such as:

  • 1-800

  • 1-888

  • 1-877

  • 0800 numbers

“Toll-free” usually means free for callers inside that country using local telecom networks.
It does not mean free for international calls.

Why You Are Charged

When calling internationally:

  • The receiving company does not cover international carrier charges

  • Telecom operators treat the call as a standard international connection

Because of this, call credits are required.

📌 The rate is shown before you place the call.

Why Some Toll-Free Calls Don’t Connect

A toll-free call may fail because:

  • The company only accepts domestic calls

  • The company blocks international traffic

  • The company blocks VoIP traffic

  • The toll-free number is restricted by its carrier

These restrictions are set by the company or its telecom provider, not by Talk360.

What You Can Try

If a toll-free call doesn’t connect:

1️⃣ Look for a regular international number on the company’s website
2️⃣ Try calling at a different time
3️⃣ Use a free test call (if available)

Important to Know

  • Toll-free numbers are often domestic-only

  • International access is controlled by the company and its carrier

  • Talk360 cannot force a toll-free number to accept international calls

Key Takeaway

Toll-free numbers are not automatically free or guaranteed to work internationally.

If a toll-free call fails or requires credits, this is expected behavior based on telecom rules, not a service error.
