calling usa toll free from mexico

The standard area code substitutions are no longer working for me to dial a usa toll free number from Mexico. I'm in San Felipe, my cell is AT&T with the international plan.

This used to work for me but not today. I tried calling a couple different companies:

Dial 001 and then,
Dial 880 for an 800 number.
Dial 881 for an 888 number.
Dial 882 for an 877 number.
Dial 883 for an 866 number.

BTW, I get a message in english with the AT&T jingle saying my call cannot be completed as dialed.

Same message if I use 1-800-7digits or 1-880-7digits.
