North American (USA, Canada, etc.) area code 877 is not linked to a specific geographic area, rather it is one of the area codes reserved for toll-free calls in which the calling party is not charged. Instead, the telephone carrier charges the cost of the call to the called party. Toll-free prefixes vary in every geographic region across the globe. Toll-free prefixes in the US are 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844. (833 and 822 are reserved for future toll-free use.)

(Note that airtime charges may still apply for calls from a cell phone.)

General rule: if the first digit of the area code is an 8, and the second and third digits are the same, then it's toll-free.
