Do I get charged for calling toll free hotlines?

Is my account charged if I make a toll free number such as my bank or the national suicide prevention hotline. Not all toll free services involve money. Queer youth and adults often need anonymous support, because coming out could be dangerous to their life.




A toll-free telephone number or freephone number is a telephone number that is billed for all arriving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber. For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline is free of charge. So no, you don't get charged.
