In the past, some scam artists have been able to transfer you to a 900 
number and bill you (or put other bogus charges on your bill).  The phone 
company views this as fraudulent and will charge back the cost of the call 
when you complain, but it's a hassle.

Many 800 numbers do not allow calls from the payphone for this very reason.
