Area code 855 is a non-geographic area code, meaning that it is not associated with any particular city, state, province, or country. Area code 855 is a toll-free number, joining the list of 800, 888, 877, 866, and 844 toll-free numbers. Area codes 833 and 822 are reserved for future toll-free numbers.
Note that you may still pay for airtime to call a toll-free number from your cellphone. This is only the case for limited cellphone plans that charge you per minute.
From outside North America, you may (or may not) be able to reach an 855 number by dialing +1 855 and the 7-digit number, paying the normal international toll charges.
(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
