this is where you buy a prepaid phone card,
go to a uswest payphone somewhere and place the call.
this way, you don't get nailed for an excessive fee, and if they try to
pull the game on the phone company, well, they simply end up
losing their service (most of the phone co.s do arrange with
each other over things like service background/credit checks, etc)
