Universal international freephone number
A
universal international freephone number (UIFN) is a worldwide
toll free "800 number" issued by the
ITU. Like the 800
area code issued for the
NANP in the U.S and
Canada, the call is free for the caller, and the receiver pays the charges. UIFN uses ITU
country code 800, so that no matter where the caller is, only the
international access code (IAC) and the 8-
digit UIFN need to be dialed. Currently, about 30 countries participate in the
UIFN programme.
