Actually it depends. In both Canada and the USA some 800 numbers
will work in both countries, and some won't. It's up to the owner
of the 800 number if they want international calls to be toll-free.
Obviously making a number toll-free for more than one
country will cost more because of the long-distance charges. So
most companies just make their numbers toll-free in the one country.
