How Global Phone Numbers Work

Global phone numbers allow prospects and customers to call you at no charge. Unlike regular toll free numbers, a single global phone number can be dialed toll free from many different countries. Over 50 countries participate in the UIFN (Universal International Freephone Number) program, which is overseen by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Universal toll free numbers include the “00800” prefix followed by 8-digits. Each country has a unique 3-digit international access code that a caller must dial to connect to a UIFN number. For example, the UIFN format for a caller from the UK would be:

(00) +800 XXXX-XXXX.

Who Should Get a Global Phone Number?

A global toll free number isn't for everyone. If you have customers in the 50+ countries participating in the UIFN Program (Universal International Freephone Number) and you want those customers to be able to reach your business for free, a global phone number may be right for you. Ideally, you'll have customers in more than one or two of these countries, as this option is more costly than purchasing a few individual traditional toll free numbers.
