Invalid Number for Toll free?

Hello.

I am trying to enter a toll free number:  877-805-7744.

Skype keeps stating it is invalid and I have tried various formats.

 

How can I enter this toll free phone number for a bank?

THank you.

Re: Invalid Number for Toll free?

all SkypeOut dialing is done using international dialing format

the number should start with '+', the LD access code, followed by the country code, which is '1' in the case of USA/Canada

so that number is dialed +18778057744

I also test-dialed the number and it worked

Re: Invalid Number for Toll free?

I just tried a French special number (I think toll free) 0810 171717.

I have tried +33 0810..., +33 810 ..., and 00810..., none of them work. It is not the first time I have failed to connect to these numbers when outside France.

Please can you advise what to do?
