In DE for example all 0-800 (=US 1-800 numbers) are registered since full liberalisation with the RegTP (read FCC like). They provide a db of such numbers which ever operator can download daily (at least) and update the data fill in their switches accordingly to facilitate the routing between operators. At the end of the day of course each and every of these numbers gets routed to a geographic number. I've heard there are plans for an EU wide scheme but dont hold your breath. I guess from the comments so far there is no such universal scheme in the US not to mention anywhere else on the planet ? I believe on can obtain so-called 00-800 type numbers from the ITU but it seems that unless there are transit and/or interconnect agreements between the 27 million global operators to actually route these, they simply dont work. Telco stuff is different as we all know, be glad for what we have in the Internet. Cheers Dave
