I am unsure what you are saying here about "speculation" please provide a source for your info. I would keep the number most likely and either route Canadian callers to an IVR with offers in-line with with people in the same demographic of being late on their cell phone bill or if a firm was very interested, such as a prepaid Canadian cell phone company, I would route the call directly to them. US callers would go to the original destination that I obtained the toll free number for. Being a toll-free ANI is provided, although not foolproof but good enough to separate the US caller from the Canadian cell phone line. Does that qualify as "speculation"? I am offered all kinds of junk while on hold or listening to a greeting when calling X company on a regular basis.
