Most long-distance companies, as well as some specialized brokers and resellers, can set you up with a toll-free number.

There are a number of telephone companies which are capable of outfitting your small business with a toll-free service. Verizon and AT&T, for example, both provide this service.

There are many providers out there offering toll-free numbers, including most long distance carriers. You will simply need to contact them and they will set one up for you! All you need is a working phone line or mobile phone.
Toll-free numbers are already in existence, what you may be asking is how to acquire a toll-free number. To do that there are many ways to go about it, but for the most part you can consult with your current phone provider and request to have toll-free services added to whatever package you have. There is a registry that has a list of available numbers. If you are looking for vanity numbers which are catchy names like 1-800-FLOWERS, etc. you might need to pay a lot more. Many people buy these numbers in advance and hold on to them to later auction them off.

You can search online for toll-free 800 numbers providers.

There are hundreds of toll-free service providers. Search online. Or check the website of the following providers: RingCentral, Grasshopper, Kall8, Tollfree forwarding, etc.
You can take PBX VOIP services from some provider and they can provide you with a toll-free number. You will get a number and the desired number of extensions. Whenever a call comes to your toll-free number, it will be received at your extension (that can be configured on your smart phone or PC) and you will have to pay for each incoming call on a per minute basis. So, you can easily get a business toll-free number. I got mine from http://www.therealpbx.com.
