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. 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.
2 peak hour: A "peak hour call" is one which is made during a period of high activity. The "peak hours" are the hours which have the highest activity or traffic during the day. For example, the peak hours of a freeway might be from 8:00 to 10:00 AM in the morning.
2 conference: A "conference call" is a call featuring more than two people.
3 local: A local call is a call made within the same zone. For example, a call from one person in San Francisco to another person in San Francisco is a local call. Generally, local calls are included in most phone plans.
3 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.
3 short distance: A "short distance call" has no meaning in English. Calls from one person to another in the same zone or area are called "local calls".
3 close: "A close call" has no meaning in terms of phones, however the idiom itself does have a meaning. "A close call" is a "narrow escape". We use the expression when we have avoided something dangerous by a close margin. For example: I almost fell down the stairs, it was a close 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.

5 connector: A "connector" is a term used to describe objects (electrical, metal, etc) which join two things together. We do not use this term to describe a person.
5 mediator: A mediator acts as a neutral party or intermediary during a debate or conversation. We do not use the term to describe a phone "operator".

Trey asks if the caller is calling from a mobile phone.
a mobile phone: Trey asks if the caller is calling from a "cell phone". The terms "mobile phone" and "cell phone" are synonymous, although "cell phone" is used mainly in the US. A "cell" is also the smallest structural unit of an organism that is capable of independent functioning!
a small room: A "cell" can refer to a secure, confined room, which might be found in a police station or prison. This is not what Trey is referring to when he asks about the caller's cell phone.
a land line: A "land line" is a telephone line which travels over terrestrial circuits or travels over the ground. They are also called "fixed lines". Cell phones use receivers that send signals through the air, as opposed "land lines" which use circuits on the ground.
