About the 888 area code
The 888 area code was introduced in 1996 as the second toll-free prefix after 800 numbers became scarce. 888 numbers offer the same benefits as 800 numbers, including nationwide reach and free calling for customers.
Fun fact: 888 was chosen because it resembles the lucky number 8, popular in many cultures.
