My nephew called me collect from a gas station in Petersburg VA in the middle of the day, trying to locate his mother. I did some calling around and was able to find her eventually. All in all I accepted 3 collect calls from him. The calls were short and sweet because they were collect calls and my nephew knows how the money goes.
Fast forward, I receive my phone bill.included as a courtesy on my phone bill are the charges from Legacy LD Intl/Zero Plus Dialing. Those three collect calls are billed at $29.05 per call for a periodo f 5 minutes. The company even has them timed at the early hours of the AM!
Makes me wonder if theyre routing the calls through some line in some country on the other side of the world.
