The cost of the call to the called party is usually based on factors such as the amount of usage the number experiences, the cost of the trunk lines to the facility, and possibly a monthly flat rate service charge.
They include the area codes 800 since 1967, 888 (since 1996), 877 (since 1998), 866 (since 2000), 855 (since 2000 although not yet in use), 844, 833 and 822 (the last three are not yet active but reserved).

  FACT SHEET: Abbreviated Dialing Codes - N11
Among abbreviated dialing arrangements, "N11" codes are three-digit codes of which the first digit can be any digit other than 1 or 0, and the last two digits are both one.
N11 codes "011" and "111" are unavailable because "0" and "1" are used for switching and routing purposes.
According to the petitioners, the abbreviated dialing code 211 is currently active in at least one locality in Connecticut and a thirteen-county area in Atlanta, Georgia.

 N11 code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An N11 code or N11 number (said as "N-one-one") is a special abbreviated dialing telephone number within the North American Numbering Plan, which allows access to special services.
Only non-geographic area codes, such as toll-free 800/888/877/866/855 numbers and 900 numbers may use N11 as the telephone exchange prefix, since the area code must always be dialed for these numbers.
011 followed by a country code is used to dial internationally, but this use is not considered an N11 code.

 Help is Just Three Digits Away
N11 codes allow callers to dial only three digits in order to connect to a location in the phone network that otherwise would be accessible only via a seven or ten-digit telephone number.
The codes "011" and "111" are unavailable because "0" and "1" are used for switching and routing purposes.
Currently, the 211 code is in use in Connecticut and a 13-county area in Atlanta, Georgia, and according to a review of these systems conducted in Fall 2000, the assistance seeking calls in these areas have increased 40 percent.

 Decision CRTC 2001-475
Most commenting parties noted that N11 is a scarce resource and that uniform criteria should serve as the basis for the assignment of unused N11 codes.
N11 should be allocated to a service or purpose that reflects universal social values and serves the broad public interest of Canadians.
Consistent with the guideline that all future N11 allocations are in the broad public interest, TELUS submitted that all LECs should be obligated to provide their customers with access to the services provided through future allocation of N11 codes.

Such functions may include: declaring that the area code relief planning process should begin; convening and conducting meetings to which the telecommunications industry and the public are invited on area code relief for a particular area code; and developing the details of a proposed area code relief plan or plans.
An area code boundary realignment, which occurs when the boundary lines between two adjacent area codes are shifted to allow the transfer of some central office codes from an area code for which central office codes remain unassigned to an area code for which few or no central office codes are left for assignment; or
No area code overlay may be implemented unless all central office codes in the new overlay area code are assigned to those entities requesting assignment on a first-come, first-serve basis, regardless of the identity of, technology used by, or type of service provided by that entity.

Area Codes, North America Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) is the organisation responsible for the maintenance of the area codes and the dialing setup for North America since the breakup of AT&T several years back.
As the exchange codes in some area codes were used up, some central offices started using the NXX format, where the middle digit can then be a 0 or 1; examples of these may be found in New York City or Los Angeles.
After this code, a 1 or 0 is dialed (to indicate direct dial or operator-assisted call) then the number to be called.

While IAFC and IMSA are troubled by and opposed to any expansion of the N11 codes for non-emergency and commercial uses, this Petition focuses on the Commission's assignment of the 311 codes for non-emergency calls to police and other government services.
The Commission's eagerness to open the N11 codes for non-emergency and commercial uses indicates that it fails to recognize the special significance that the N11 codes have in callers' minds.
N11 codes, which represent a scarce public resource, should be reserved for broad-based public interest uses; and any assigned uses must not threaten emergency calling systems.

 Telecom Jungle Musings: The Future of N11 Service Codes ??
In the late 1960s, the first "government/community/public interest" N11 code began to appear, which has become virtually universal in use, but the intent is for its universal implementation throughout the US/Canada, regardless of what any other telcos might be using it for if they use it for telco test functions, and this is 911 Emergencies.
Note that the use of N11 codes has migrated away from (monopoly) telco provided services, over to "universal" (or nearly so) community/government/public interest uses, which work fine in a carrier neutral sense in a highly comeptitive (local) telco environment.
However, ALL OTHER N11 codes would be changed or assigned to non-telco, but non-competitive, public-interest type codes all as described above (of course such a non-telco community/gov't/public assignment on 611 hasn't been determined as of yet, but I expect one in the next few years).

 Telecom Decision CRTC 2004-71
TELUS suggested that many of the benefits of an N11 code could be met by aggregating municipal services through an efficient call centre using a common seven-digit telephone number, pointing out that some municipalities had already done so.
The Commission considers that the Municipalities have demonstrated that an N11 code is warranted for non-emergency municipal government services and that their application meets each of the guidelines established by the Commission in Decision 2001-475.
Allstream stated that there was a precedent for the treatment of costs for N11 codes, noting that in Decision 2001-475, the Commission determined that TSPs should bear the incremental costs of N11 implementation.

 LincMad: Future Expansion of the NANP
The pace of adding new area codes is only just beginning to slow with the belated introduction of number conservation measures such as thousands-block pooling and rate-center consolidation, raising the spectre of a premature exhaust of the entire 3-3-4 number format for North American numbers.
All area codes with the N9X format (that is, all area codes with '9' as the middle digit) have been reserved for expansion of the NANP number format.
Billing numbers based on RAO codes (of the same format as area codes, but a separate numbering space) will add a '0' to the end of the RAO code and a '1' to the front of the remaining digits; thus, 747-090-xxxx will become 7470-1090-xxxx.

Specifically, when the D digit is released and Central Office codes commencing with the digits 0 and 1 are introduced, the network will no longer support seven digit dialing.
At the end of the transition period, four-digit NPA codes that do not have a 1 or 0 in the fourth digit can then be assigned.
As the fourth digit in the existing ten-digit NANP cannot be a 0 or 1, using one of those values in the D digit position will provide the necessary indication for all switching equipment and operational systems to ensure identification of an expanded twelve-digit NANP number.

N11 codes, more formally known as service codes, are used to provide three-digit dialing access to special services.
In the U.S., the FCC administers N11 codes.
In some states, N11 codes that are not assigned nationally may be assigned locally, provided that these local assignments can be withdrawn promptly if a national assignment is made.

The 811 abbreviated dialing code shall be deployed ubiquitously by carriers throughout the United States for use by all telecommunications carriers, including wireline, wireless, and payphone service providers that provide access to state One Call Centers.
Further, shared use of an existing N11 code for access to state One Call Centers could also delay deployment due to the need to reach agreement with the existing users of the N11 code to be integrated and national advertising efforts to educate users on the shared use of the N11 code.
N11 codes are service codes that enable callers to access special services by dialing only three digits.

The purpose of the new rule is to clarify for jurisdicitonal telecommunications services providers in the state of Colorado, in light of the FCC’s recent assignment of 211, 311 and 511, the limitation on the use of N11 codes by individual companies for purposes that are not consistent with the FCC’s assignments.
The history of N11 code assignments indicates that the FCC intended that state commissions were to administer the implementation of N11 code assignments so long as they did not conflict with national assignments.
The FCC explained that assignment or designation of an N11 code provides an announcement to the industry for a defined purpose and alerts current users of the N11 code that nonconforming uses must cease as part of the implementation process.

 Toll Free 800, Domain Name, and ENUM Industry News and Information
The IMG identified three possibilities: an N11 code, a geographic NPA such as 344 (spells “DIG”), or a vertical service-like code (such as #344, *344 or 344#).
At this point, the IMG recommends an N11 code over NPA 344 because it follows the established abbreviated dialing convention, minimizes the impact on customer dialing (although there may be either dialed delay or misrouting of calls in a 7-digit dialing environment), and consumes fewer numbering resources.
The IMG is still evaluating the available N11 codes, and plans to have a final report to present to the NANC in September.

 FCC Dockets & Filings
IAFC and IMSA oppose the DOJ request that an N11 code, specifically 311, be reserved on a national basis for use by communities for non-emergency police telephone calls and, at the discretion of each jurisdiction, access to other government services.
In support of its request, DOJ contends that "[r]eservation of an N11 code on a national basis is important to foster national uniformity." The national uniformity that DOJ seeks does not depend upon assignment of an N11 code.
Rather than allow the proliferation of N11 dialing codes, the more appropriate response to DOJ's request is to (1) assign a national seven or 10 digit number; (2) mount an advertising/educational campaign regarding the new non- emergency number; and (3) renew educational efforts on the proper use of 911.

The Commission recognizes that the use of 911 has increased significantly since AT&T first designated 911 as an abbreviated dialing code to be used to reach emergency services in the late 1960s.13 Recent statistics show that a large majority of communities have made significant progress in the deployment of 911.
Alternatively, the message could inform the caller of the dialing code change and instruct the caller to stay on the line while the call is transferred to emergency services personnel.
The combined efforts of all interested parties to ensure that the public is informed as quickly as possible as to the use of 911 is critical to a successful and efficient transition.

If 311 has already been assigned by a state to another service, the assignment may continue, "until the local government in that area was prepared to activate a non-emergency 311 service." At that point, the current user would have six months to relinquish their 311 service.
But the FCC continued its policy of relying on state's to assign N11 numbers, with the stipulation that assignments can be discontinued on short notice.
The DOJ also suggested that the N11 code could be used to give access to other government services, at the discretion of each jurisdiction.

 NDATC Position Paper - HB 1135
The N11 dialing codes are those three digit numbers that the Federal Communications Commission has specifically set aside for certain entities.
For example, 211 has been reserved for mental health, 311 for non-emergency calls to authorities, 511 for transportation and 911 for emergency calls.
The Association does believe that the Public Service Commission could play an effective role in resolving the question of which entities should be entitled to assignment of N11 dialing codes and supports that portion of House Bill 1135.
