What each type means for the caller

Toll-free: 0800 or 800
Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 10 digits after +267.
Premium rate: 90
Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 7 digits after +267.
VoIP: 7910–7913 or 7920–7927
Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 8 digits after +267.

Writing and dialling a Botswana toll-free number

Botswana has no trunk prefix, so the number is the same at home and abroad; in E.164 put +267 in front: 0800 012 345 becomes +2670800012345. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Botswana, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.

Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list

In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Botswana phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.

In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
