I suspect it is because, as the number of toll free area codes increases (866, 855, 844, etc..!), it's becoming a burden to have to allocate a "mirror" code in each case as well. Anyway, I believe it's possible to have a toll free number that's only dialable in one area and have the same number allocated to someone else who has a toll free number only dialable from some other area, as long as the areas don't overlap. So who would the international caller reach in that case? -Phil
