The number is 1-800-223-1360.  

From outside the US/Canada, the number is 201-592-2000.  It drives me up the
wall that from my phone I can call every telephone in the world directly except
800 numbers in the U.S.  Since many companies publish only their 800 numbers,
it means I can't call them at all.  Was it really beyond AT'Ts capability to
arrange for 800 numbers to be free in the US/Canada, but billed at normal
rates when called from abroad, but at least make them work?
