Freephone numbers
GlobalXess freephone (toll-free) numbers let inbound callers reach your business without paying for the call, with coverage across the major freephone ranges (UIFN included) and direct routing through a licensed European carrier.
A freephone number, also known as a toll-free number, shifts the cost of an inbound call from the caller to the called party. GlobalXess provisions freephone ranges in-country against the local numbering plan, supports the Universal International Freephone Number (UIFN) range under ITU-T E.169, and routes the calls over the same carrier-grade infrastructure as our geographic DID portfolio.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a freephone or toll-free number?
A freephone number is a phone number where the called party (the business) pays for the inbound call instead of the caller. Common examples include 0800 ranges in many European countries, 1800 in Ireland, and the 800/888 series in North America. UIFN (+800) is an international freephone number that works across multiple originating countries.
Does GlobalXess support UIFN?
Yes. Universal International Freephone Numbers (UIFN, +800) are supported as part of our freephone catalog, with the originating-country reach configurable on a per-allocation basis.
Can mobile callers reach GlobalXess freephone numbers?
In most markets, yes. A small number of regulators still allow originating mobile networks to charge for freephone reach or to block it entirely; the coverage catalog flags these cases per country.
What is the call quality on freephone calls?
Freephone calls run over the same carrier-grade infrastructure as our DID and SIP-trunking calls, with the GlobalXess AI-Enhanced Call Quality Monitoring on every leg. Target availability is 99.999%.
Can existing freephone numbers be ported to GlobalXess?
Number portability for freephone ranges depends on the local regulator. Where porting is permitted, GlobalXess handles the LOA workflow and the cutover; where it is not, we provision a new number and front it with call-forwarding rules during the transition.
