Has any particular plan been made for what to do when the North
American area code for toll-free calls, 800, fills up?  It would be
nice if a code that was somewhat similar had been reserved for
splitting it.  Given that 700, 801, and 900 are all in some sort of
use, the best choice would seem to be 810.

What fraction of the 800-number namespace is currently allocated?
