Sure. Amex, Bank of America, many corporate entities with outgoing call
centers have specific numbers they want you to call back on, and want you
to enjoy the Toll Free-ness of it all. Having the callerID show up as the
8xx number you should call back is something people find convenient.

We can argue all day that it's insecure and whatnot, but I think there are
legit reasons to set a valid Toll Free number as CallerID.

Of course, that makes billing more difficult.
