The string of numbers disallowed, including 855, is actually a really common prohibition. Using various searches I see Verizon Mobile Life, StraightTalk and a whole host of lesser-known carriers disallow calling from these numbers.
Didn't notice the wiki didn't include 855 so did a Ctrl + F and ah ha. Search results seem to be...declining in relevance/usefulness, overall.
But yeah, everything I can see on 855 today says it's an arealess toll-free number so not sure why there's a ban on it by so many carriers (maybe it's been implicated in spam/robocalling too many times?).
