In November 1999, the Industry Numbering Committee directed NANPA to assign the 855 NPA code for toll-free service. 

On June 25, 2010, the Wireline Competition Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the opening of the 855 toll free code commencing at 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Friday, October 1, 2010. 

General History 

On November 29, 1999, the Industry Numbering Committee (INC) directed NANPA to assign the 866 and 855 NPA codes for toll-free service, supplementing the 800, 888 and 877 NPAs. (See Planning Letter 197). The 866 NPA code went into service in July 2000, but implementation of the 855 NPA was deferred until further notice.
