Dude. Who tried to call my cell phone from area code 888 while I was in the shower just now?

That's either a telemarketer, a bill collector, or something calling toll free.

All these numbers are toll free:

1-800
1-888
1-866
1-877

And some others, I'm sure.

888 is a toll free number, so it's either a telemarketer or a non-profit, possibly a political or charity call.
