If someone gave you a 1-800 number for free, what would you do with it? (sh.itjust.works)

I actually have a toll free number. I was going to potentially use just for a goofy project, however once robodialers find out you have a working number you might get a flood of spam calls. This sucks because you(as the toll free owner) are billed for any minutes for calls that connect to you.

Someone would have to foot those bills and that’s really how you’d only get a 1-800 number “for free”.

I thought that was what's being implied.

And yes, 100% free in this magical scenario, no paying for the number, minutes etc.
