Is an 844 Area Code a Good Look?

    Hey folks, I'm ordering new business cards and need to finalize our contact number. We're a small non-profit and finally getting a dedicated toll-free line. I see that 844 numbers are available, but I'm wondering about the perception. Does an 844 area code come across as less professional or "new" compared to the more established 800 codes? I don't want potential donors or partners to second-guess calling us.

    That's a really smart question to ask, and you definitely don't need to worry about the 844 code seeming unprofessional. All the toll-free codes (800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844) function identically for the caller and carry the same cost-free benefit. The different prefixes were simply introduced over time as the previous ones ran out of number combinations. The 844 is just the newest in that sequence. I found a fantastic and straightforward guide that explains the history and perception of all these codes, and it specifically confirms that 844 numbers are widely accepted and trusted today. It should put your mind completely at ease.
