L'écriture des numéros en 800 est différente de l'anglais au français. Alors qu'en anglais on trouve des traits d'union entre le 1 et le 800 et entre le 800 et le numéro local, ces traits d'union n'existent pas dans l'équivalent français. Cette convention d'écriture a été établie par Bell Canada en suivant l'écriture des numéros de téléphone en France. 3, record 2, French, - num%C3%A9ro%20en%20800
