    Needed to test our phone lines at work for this ability. None of us knew how to do it anymore, so we really appreciated this info.

    The 0+ phone number will not work for people who have not selected a long-distance carrier. I dropped mine when the monthly service charge was implemented even on those who made no long-distance calls. I use calling cards and Skype instead of a long-distance carrier. The 1-800-Call-4-Less option worked for me. The receiving person was a bit suspicious because she had not heard of this service before.

    I am a Verizon phone customer, my son was out of state and used this number over a weekend. Five calls later,my ability to receive collect calls through the MCI network was suspended because for those calls I was charged $150.00! I am sure there are other ways to call collect, just using the operator or maybe another company. I was told that the charges are upwards of $1.62 a minute!!

    Be careful about making collect calls from foreign countries into the United States if they do not have their rates stated. I was charged $60 for a ten minute call from Mexico to the United States.
