an 800 number is also partially about having a large corporate identity, for example if go to the website for $HUGE_AIRLINE and its main customer service/reservations phone number is 1-416-something-something vs 1-800-something-something, it looks less serious.

I used to work for MCI back in the day and our small business teams used that very tactic to sell TF numbers.
