Ahh, shower thinking is the best. Some of my best code is born there.
I can't answer all of your questions, but the dialing in my experience, all
you need to do is add the area code to that number and it works.
So I just set up a rule in my customer dial plan...
exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Goto(${CDR(accountcode):0:3}${EXTEN}|1)
So if they dial a 10 digit number, it just appends their area code to it and
then goes on normally.
I'm pretty sure, at the very least that they're Canada-wide,
Panago<http://www.panago.com>for instance has 310-0001 in British
Columbia, Alberta, Sask and Ontario.
I'd like to know how to get one too, so if you find out let us all know.

Good morning everyone,
I was thinking this morning in the shower (don't ask) and suddenly the
thought that i am unable to dial a certain type of number poped into my
head. These 7 digit toll free numbers, 310-XXXX.
These numbers to the best of my knowledge are not areacode restricted, and
you can't dial them with an areacode infront. So my questions are...
1) Does any voip provider have specific setups to allow these numbers to
be called?
2) Are these numbers an ontario only, or canada only specific thing?
3) Can most pri's call these numbers?
4) Does any provider offer these numbers and how do i get one? :)
any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. The only reason i'm
asking this is not so my customers can call ma'bell with their damn
310-bell, but i've noticed other companies using these numbers, like pizza
hut and various other places.
