I think that the United States and Canada are virtually the only places
in the world that believe in person to person calls, which can easily
be used to pass information for free by asking for fictitious persons.
Everywhere else, you get to pay for the call; however, you can usually
make very short cheap calls so for the equivalent of a dime or whatever,
you can call and talk long enough to give you name and ask them to call
back to the payphone you are at or whatever.
