  Privacy ??  I'm confused.  You mean that in France I can
"non-invade" someone's privacy by calling him, but "invade" his
privacy by knowing his phone # (which I would know, since I had called
him) ?

  What a philosophy.  Is this from the Jerry Lewis School of Higher
Thinking?

  Seriously, how would anyone contest a wrongly charged call ?
Perhaps a better question would be: Are you even allowed to contest a
charge ?
