^ A one at the beginning of the NXX
                                  ^^^??? this one is also interesting


I'll be more specific, does this number work outside the USA.  Its
not a typical US 1-800 number, because it has too many digits and
a "1" as the beginning of the NXX.  Is it a special ITU number?
If it was an international free number it would be +800 (e.g. 011 800 from the US, 00 800 from lots of Europe). The "1" at the start suggests a number in the US, but I guess it's not so odd for someone in the US to have just added it by accident (I one had some business cards arrived that had "+1 44" for my numbers in the UK... er... no that's not going to work).

For what it's worth, dialing 00 800-13937878 from BT in the UK ends up with a ring tone of some kind; calling both 00 800-13937878 and +800-13937878 on the Orange GSM network gives a "number error" message on my handset.
