I've never seen a comprehensive list of caller pays or other surcharged
numbers in other countries, and you probably don't know what they are
for my country. I have seen incomplete lists and I've read that there
are plenty of exceptions.

It's up to your calltime provider to advise you how much calls will
cost. (Who else can say?)


My service won't know in advance under all circumstances.


A lot of them "take a view" and if they are charging you (eg) $2 a
minute to be calling Obscuristan they won't be that worried if they get
a bill for 30c/min to terminate on a mobile rather than 10c/min on a
landline. The bulk of the money is to pay for the International transit,
and their cleverness for getting you to shell out $2 rather than 40c in
the first place.
