A toll-free telephone number or freephone number is a telephone number that is billed for all arriving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber. For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline is free of charge.
A toll-free, Freecall, Freephone, 800, 0800 or 1-800 number is identified by a dialing prefix similar to a geographic area code, such as 800. The specific service access numbers vary by country.
The features of toll-free services have evolved as telephone networks have moved from electro-mechanical call switching to fully computerized stored program controlled networks.
Originally, a call billed to the called party had to be placed through a telephone company operator as a collect call. The operator had to secure acceptance of the charges at the remote number before manually completing the call.
A few large businesses and government offices received large numbers of collect calls, which proved time consuming for operators.
You can´t pass me I am the pinnacle
I´m the zenith I mean it I´m unstoppable
Full tank of gas
And a 1/2 a pack of cigarettes
It´s dark we´re wearing sunglasses
Yeah hit it!
1 800 EAT SHIT
You don´t like the things I do
I´ve got some advice for you
Oh baby just call!
I know you haven´t got a prayer
You´re stuck in the middle of nowhere
You´re wondering which way to go
Gimmie a call if you don´t know
1 800 EAT SHIT
You don´t like the things I do
I´ve got some advice for you
