It will cost the user between 0.005 USD per minute (half a cent) up to about 1 USD per minute depending on the calling plan the user have with their telecom.
It's an international number, the rates are not fixed and they are set out solely by the provider of the end user and the calling plan the user is on. We don't ask the user about calling plans or whatnot, we just know what numbers would be most likely to have good billing access based on his IP address.
I'm sorry you are not happy with the answer provided, you will get the same answer from anyone else you ask who have a clue of what they are talking about. If they claim something else then be sure you have a clear agreement on how and when you are getting paid since it looks like they are just telling you want you wanna hear.
We are not using numbers defined as IPRS by ITU for the sole reason that adult services wouldn't be paid if used from countries where adult services are not allowed due to political or religious reasons. In general they have also poor access and the pricing is still not transparent.
For domestic numbers, premium sms, direct billing or wap billing we obviously know the charges as we are charging using direct contracts and the phone company have a pre-agreed markup with us.
We obviously try and get Premium SMS or other domestic billing options in countries that is important and where the services would be allowed by the local regulators, but when it's not possible, examples like turkey, saudi arabia, iraq, afghanistan and so on we figured people use our system to increase their button line so if we can charge someone then we will per default.
If you are not happy with that then we can block countries on an account basis when there is no domestic billing options, this allows you to accept money only from people where you have a 100% accurate view of what the end user is charged. We can also redirect it back to a predefined URL.
