US toll-free numbers

Call US toll-free (800) numbers from abroad

Banks, airlines and US government agencies put their help lines on 1-800 numbers that are free inside the US and often impossible to dial from anywhere else. Hyallo connects you to them from your browser for $0.02 a minute, wherever you are.

Why 1-800 numbers don't work from abroad

They are free only inside the US

A toll-free number is paid for by the company that owns it, and only for calls from inside the US (sometimes Canada). Most foreign carriers can't route a call to one at all, and you hear a failed-call tone or an error message.

Your SIM bills it as international

When a call does go through from a foreign or roaming phone, it is charged as an international call — often at roaming rates — for as long as you are on hold.

Chat apps can't reach them

WhatsApp calls only reach WhatsApp users, and apps that call phone numbers often can't reach US toll-free numbers from outside the US.

The seven US toll-free prefixes

A US number is toll-free when it starts with one of these area codes. Hyallo calls all seven at the same price.

  • 1-800
  • 1-888
  • 1-877
  • 1-866
  • 1-855
  • 1-844
  • 1-833

What it costs

$0.02 per minute to any US toll-free number, and $0.02 per minute to a regular US number, such as a company's line for callers abroad. You pay only for connected time, billed per started minute, and hold time counts as call time. Unanswered calls are free. No subscription: top up credit and use it when you need it.

Your first 1-minute call is free, no card needed.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I call a 1-800 number from outside the US?

US toll-free numbers are paid for by the company that owns them and are set up for callers inside the US. Most carriers outside the US can't connect to them, and those that can charge you for an international call. Hyallo places the call through a US carrier, so it connects like a domestic call.

How much does it cost to call a US toll-free number with Hyallo?

$0.02 per minute, billed per started minute of connected time. Unanswered calls are free and there is no monthly fee.

Can I call any 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844 or 833 number?

Yes, Hyallo can place calls to all seven US toll-free prefixes. Whether someone answers is up to the company: a few toll-free lines only accept calls from certain US regions, and some numbers are out of service.

Does time on hold cost money?

Yes. Once the company's line answers, hold time is connected time, so it is billed like the rest of the call — at $0.02 a minute, a 30-minute wait costs $0.60.

Can I make a collect call with Hyallo?

No. Hyallo can't place collect or operator-assisted calls. When a company lists a collect number for callers abroad, you can dial it from Hyallo as a regular US call, or call its toll-free number instead.

Is Hyallo affiliated with these companies?

No. Hyallo is an independent calling service. We list numbers exactly as each company publishes them on its own website, with the date we checked, so you can verify them before you call.
