What each type means for the caller

Toll-free: 0800
Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 8 digits after +51.
Premium rate: 0805
Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 8 digits after +51.
Shared cost: 0801
The caller pays part of the cost and the owner pays the rest, so the price sits between a free and a normal call. 8 digits after +51.
Personal number: 0802 or 0804
A follow-me number that forwards to whatever phone its owner chooses, so the digits don't reveal the line behind it. 8 digits after +51.

Writing and dialling a Peru toll-free number

Inside Peru, dial the number with its leading 0. From abroad or in E.164, drop the 0 and put +51 in front: (0800) 12345 becomes +5180012345. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Peru, 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 Peru phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

How many digits is a Peru toll-free number?

Can I call a Peru toll-free number from abroad?
Sometimes. Dial +51 and the number without the leading 0. Many freephone numbers only take calls from inside Peru, and where they do connect from abroad the call is usually charged.

By its first digits: 0805. Shared-cost numbers start with 0801. The prefix tells you the range is charged; the actual price is set per service.

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.
