In Britain, a collect call is called a "reverse charge" call.
1 person to person: A person to person call is simply a direct call between two people.
1 calling card: A calling card call is a call made using a calling card. Calling cards are generally used for international calls or for public telephones which don't accept money.
1 third party: A third party call is a call paid for by neither the caller nor the recipient of the call. A third party call is billed to a third number, specified by the caller.
2 long distance: A long distance call is any call which isn't local. Generally, it is a call from one area code to another. A long distance call is not necessarily an international call. A call from Los Angeles to San Francisco is considered a long distance call.
2 collect or reverse charge: A "collect call" is a call paid for by the recipient of the call, rather than the caller. People often make collect calls when they have no money or change for a public telephone. In this dialogue, Philip asks Icarus if he will accept the charges of a collect call.

4 area code or dialing code: The prefix of a telephone number is called the area code or dialing code. These numbers (3 in the United States, 4 or 6 in England) determine the region or area you are calling.
