What I believe n99hockey was saying lines up with the scam I was talking about. Many of those 8xx prefixes are actually international calls. So can be very expensive in addition to minutes.

That's how they get you, noone knows.
I had to dig to find even this
It doesn't list the countries by the prefix, but a simple websearch of the number should tell you that. I know some people who have been scammed this way, and it's a shame that it's so hard to find specific information on it.
