They were doing this stuff back in teh 90's. That when the big LD's created 800 numbers to use to call collect. You called teh 800 number, then they would put you through collect at normal fees. Hotels started loosing a lot of money (they were in on it) so they began blocking 800 calls or charging you 30cents a minute to make the 800 call. Eventually, there was enough bad press that they stopped the practice.
