Summary
Freedom from Toll Fraud Act - Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to revise the requirements that must be met in order to charge the calling party for information provided during a call to a toll free (800) number. Amends the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act (TDDRA) to modify the definition of "pay-per-call services" to allow the Federal Trade Commission to extend the definition to other services providing audio information or audio entertainment if the Commission determines that such services are susceptible to the unfair and deceptive practices prohibited by rules prescribed under specified provisions of the TDDRA.
