This is the correct way to markup that you're after.

According to the spec, certainly; but it runs up against the known problem of abusing the abbr element:

According to the maxim: "People first, machines second" how should the following text be marked up so that it works with existing tools?

Toll-free Phone: 1-800-670-5861

If it doesn't bother you for humans using screen readers to hear that as "work 1-800-670-5861," the markup above is fine. If that does bother you, the following is valid, though it doesn't specify to machines that it's a work number:

<div class="tel">Toll-free Phone: <span class="value">1-800-670-5861</ span></div>

Peace,
Scott
