This article in the HuffingtonPost claims that nearly one quarter of all 800 numbers in the US and Canada are owned by one company, namely PrimeTel Communications.
That’s more 800 numbers in their administration than AT&T and Verizon. It’s estimated the company has around 1.7 million 800 numbers.
Primetel Communications has offices in the same building as National A-1 Advertising.
Why would anyone want so many 800 numbers? Simply because 800 numbers are like domains, if you have a prime domain name, and someone wants it, you can sell it for some good money.
