Also is there any other way to Dial Toll free numbers in United States.
1) Technically, there is no difference. The LD carrier who is providing the T1 has simply chosen not to handle toll-free traffic. Most LD carriers have this policy.

2) Some LD carriers offer an "Integrated Access" T1 with can handle both local and LD on the same T1. Check with your carrier and see if such an option is available. Otherwise, you can install a few CO-Trunks specifically to handle the toll-free traffic.
