The area code is a part of a telephone number normally occurring at the beginning that usually indicates a geographical area.
Codes 8xx with the last two digits matching, such as 800, 888, 877, 866, etc. are reserved for toll free calls.

 Area Code
Area code 762 brings changes in local dialing for customers in the 706 area code region of Georgia.
Because area code 762 overlays the existing 706 area code region, ten-digit dialing – the appropriate area code (762 or 706) plus the seven-digit telephone number – is necessary for local calls to complete properly.
The 762 overlay area code does not replace the existing 706 area code and will be assigned only to new telephone numbers within the 706 area code region.

The state of Nevada requested that its new area code be "lucky" 777; this was denied by NANPA because it is an ERC, to be used only for special purposes like inward Wide Area Telephone Service (Las Vegas was granted 702).
Another such NPA code has now been assigned to the Titusville/Space Coast area of Florida, 321.

 Country and City phone code --- provided by Just Phone Cards.com
In the new plan, geographic area codes will be changed so that they begin with the digit 3 or 5.
However, these codes conflict with the existing area codes; example: 80 is the area code for Livno, which must eventually be changed to a new area code.
800 can be used for freephone services since no Livno subscriber number begins with 0, but eventually Livno will change to conform to the geographic area code range.

 The Area Code Wizard (Area Code Repair)
When an area code is split, some prefixes (also called NXX's) stay with the old area code, and others are assigned to the new area code.
Using area code split data (compiled since 1995), along with a complete database of prefix information, the Area Code Wizard matches old phone numbers against the new prefix assignments to determine if a number has changed.
If is has, the area code in the old number is replaced with the new area code.

 Seth Weinstein | Pedantry | Crimes of Innumeracy | Phone Numbers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Just as there's no reason to write a 1 before the 617 or 646 area code, there's no reason to put a 1 before 800 or 888 or 877 or 866 or any other toll-free area codes that may eventually exist.
And if someone tells me his number is 1-617-637-1111, that tells me two things: that he doubts I understand the concept of area codes and that I'd better not call him collect (since calling collect doesn't require a 1).
And if you're in the U.S. dialing some other country and the city code starts with 0, remember to omit the 0 (Moscow is the exception; you dial the full 095 city code).

For instance, 800 service begins with toll-free access within a single area code (but no access from phones outside the area code).
Then, 800 service becomes available in "zones", or groups of Canadian area codes arranged in bands of area codes starting with the immediately surrounding areas.
Canadian 800 numbers can be made available to the U.S. in three coverage areas; the initial "band" of coverage is for a few states closest to the area code in which the Canadian number is located.

 Toll Free Phone Service (800, 888, 877, 866) - Best Priced Telcom
The area codes 855, 844, 833, and 822 have also been reserved for toll free activation in the future if and when necessary.
These carriers were assigned blocks of 800 numbers with common NXX (prefixes), so the phone numbers available depended on the carrier you spoke to and if you left your carrier, you would have to change your 800 number.
Then after rationing 800 numbers, the telecommunications industry chose 888 as the next toll free area code, introducing another 8 million new numbers to the toll free pool (less a couple hundred 888 numbers that were held out of the pool at the request of the 800 owner).
