The reason for "call in the next ten minutes" is because that 800 number will be re-used on another channel for a different commercial spot in 10 minutes.
They track which commercial spots brought in the sales by having dozens of different 800 numbers--basically a unique on for each spot that runs at a given time. They have to re-use the numbers throughout the day. They urge you to call in "now" because if you wait, they can't accurately track which sales went with which commercial.
