Because the ISP gave the number to the user, often accompanied by text that 
implied
that the number provided was an economical way to get connected.

"Here's a list of our local numbers:"

"Here's a list of our numbers in your area code.  Some numbers may be toll calls
from some locations in the area code, please double-check."

As far as I can tell, they're requiring the second rather than the first.

Move along, nothing to see... ;)
