godaddy claims they don't have a 1-800 number in order to keep costs down so they can continue to offer low prices on their domains.

Toll-free numbers arent that expensive - espically not for a company like them. I used to sell long distance and WATS service for TTI National - also known as ATN - American Telecom Network (which was a reseller for WorldCom) for years until thier little bubble burst a year ago or so. When WorldCom went under, they put ATN (my agency and sponsor) in the bankruptcy and stopped paying commissions on all of the accounts.
Over the years I did it, I made more than $275,000.00 in combined comissions - mostly because I had switched over a handful of very large businesses that spent tens of thousands of dollars each every month. (Damn, my upline was happy). I had switched over a credit card processing company that called all over the world to verify sales and I eventually got them to switch thier main 800 number too. I also switched over a couple of smaller mortage companies and I even snagged one of America's largest manufactures of kitchen faucets.
Anybody can get 3.9 cents a minute billed in 6 second increiments. For a company like GoDaddy, which is going to have a commercial telephone system (PABX) and more than likely multiple T1s feeding it - the rate goes as low as 1.9 cents per billable minute. Companies that spend as much time on the phone as they would can throw thier weight around and get a very good rate.
