We now have statewide tollfree numbers throughout California through o1 Communications, and will be dropping our other dial-up numbers. If your current access number doesn't end in 2751, you will need to change to a new number.

Note: It is your responsibility to check with the phone company to confirm that the number you use to dial TDL is toll-free. TDL is not responsible for toll charges you may incur if the number you choose is a toll call from your area..

Please use any of the new o1 Communications numbers below, but with one additional minor change. To use these new numbers, you will need to use your entire email address for the username. If your username is now tuna, you would change it to tuna@tdl.com to use an o1 Communications number. This expands the area from which TDL users can dial toll free. Again, use the instructions at the bottom of this page to change your access number.

To find state-wide toll-free o1 Communications numbers, simply enter your area code and the first three digits of your phone number in the following form.

Your Area Code & Prefix
example: 925###

Note: It is your responsibility to check with the phone company to confirm that the number you use to dial TDL is toll-free. TDL is not responsible for toll charges you may incur if the number you choose is a toll call from your area.
