It was in 1967 that companies started using 1-800 numbers to provide their customers with a free way to call. The high startup costs of installing 1-800 numbers placed the service out of reach for all but the highest volume users, however, and as it was, only very large firms or those who did extensive business in catalog sales were able to afford 1-800 numbers for their businesses.
