An 800 number is toll free, so you'd be paying for everyone calling you. Since you'd have a near zero chance of getting people to enter their CC# to bill them, the only way you'd make money is by selling the numbers that call you to telemarketers.

You could set up a 900 number, which would do what you wanted, but I doubt you'd get as many takers.
