[VoiceOps] Toll Free Acquisition

[Mary Lou Carey]

Toll free numbers are not assigned out like regular NXXs. If you know who the
numbers are assigned to you can contact them about leasing or purchasing them.
They most likely will not want to sell you the number, but will lease it to you
and allow you to point it to your own RESPORG. If you don't know who the owner
is, you can always look up the RESPORG company that manages it and see if
they'll help you identify the owner.
