Thanks for the info. I'm sure why the codes started popping up in at least 5 Tier 1 International rate decks about 6 months ago. At least now I know why they exist. On Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 11:02 AM Paul Timmins <ptimmins at clearrate.com> wrote:
11xx codes are a pulse dial substitute for the matching *xx code. so 1167 sets the privacy flag just like *67 does. They're not dialable outside of a class 5 end user.
(12xx replaces the #)

Semi related:
Depending on the International vendor, I see the codes 108, 109, 1129, 1139, 1171, 1172, 1173, 1178 being claimed as either valid codes in Canada or the US. I haven't found much information on them but I believe they are special in Canada dial codes for certain services and would likely never complete if a call originated outside of the country.
Watch out for those in ratesheets if your customers dial the 011 prefix for an International call, it may confuse your LCR/rating engine.

I think you misread that 886 is reserved for TF. It was released from TF reservation in 2003 and us currently unassigned so could pop up anywhere as a new code.
If that is the case, you should tell NANPA. I just downloaded their NPA database, dated today. It says:
NPA_ID,type_of_code,ASSIGNABLE,EXPLANATION,RESERVED,ASSIGNED,ASSIGNMENT_DT,USE,LOCATION,COUNTRY,IN_SERVICE,IN_SERVICE_DT,STATUS,PLANNING_LETTERS,"NOTES",OVERLAY,OVERLAY_COMPLEX,PARENT_NPA_ID,SERVICE,TIME_ZONE,AREA_SERVED,MAP,IN_JEOPARDY,RELIEF_PLANNING_IN_PROGRESS,HOME_NPA_LOCAL_CALLS,HOME_NPA_TOLL_CALLS,FOREIGN_NPA_LOCAL_CALLS,FOREIGN_NPA_TOLL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_LOCAL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_TOLL_CALLS,PERM_HNPA_FOREIGN_LOCAL_CALLS,"DIALING_PLAN_NOTES" 886,General Purpose Code,No,Set aside for toll free,No,No,,N,,,N,,,,"",No,,,Toll-Free,,,,No,No,,,,,,,,""

Does anyone know if area code 886 was allocated to Canada and if yes where in Canada? We were just told by an international vendor that it is a new area code in Canada yet I can't find anything on it.
You can check the definitive NANPA list at https://nationalnanpa.com/
It says that 886 is reserved for toll-free expansion. Your vendor is confused.
A long time ago, codes 880, 881, and 882 were used for paid international calls to North American 800, 888, and 877 numbers, so they might be telling you a garbled version of that. That hack went away 15 years ago and those codes are now also reserved for toll-free expansion._______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps at voiceops.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
