A toll-free number is a telephone number where the charges for the call are paid by the recipient, not the caller. In North America, all toll-free numbers share a common prefix of 8. So if you’re getting an unknown call with an 844 area code (which doesn’t even reveal its location*), it’s natural to wonder who owns it and whether it’s worth picking up the call.

In this article, we’re showing you 3 ways to uncover who owns an 844 number and where it is from. Read on…

1. Conduct an online search

Google®

Toll-free numbers are primarily used by businesses, and it is likely that their contact information is readily available or shared on the Internet. As an approach, you can conduct a Google search to see if it gives you any useful results. To do so, simply pop the number into the search engine and hit Search.

Social media

Social media is another place where organizations showcase their image. So you can try searching the 844 number on networks like Facebook®, Twitter®, Instagram®, or LinkedIn® to see if you can identify a match.
