They'll eventually figure it out, and bill you for the amount you've used. Count on it.

I moved into an apartment once, and had the phone service scheduled to be turned on the following Monday. Over the weekend we had a housewarming party, and someone asked if they could use the phone. I told them it wasn't connected yet, but they had to see for themselves, and - sure enough - there was a dial tone.
We figured it was still connected under the previous tenants, so, like idiots, we all made a bunch of long distance calls to everyone we knew out of state.

My first phone bill that month was for $200.

They'll get you, too.
