1 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. 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.
4 zip code or postcode: A zip code, postcode or postal code determines the location a letter or parcel is to be sent. This information is unrelated to the telephone.
4 extension: An extension is a short number, generally used in corporations or organizations with multiple departments, used to identify an individual or a department. Extensions can be reached either manually or with the assistance of an operator.
4 Davinci code: Yes! No, wait. No. This is incorrect.
5 operator: The person who connects one caller to another is called the "operator", or the "switchboard operator". In this dialogue, Philip pretends to be a switchboard operator.
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".
5 phone fairy: There is no such thing as the phone fairy! A fairy is a small person with little wings who flies around and has magical properties, like Tinkerbell from Peter Pan! Amazing!
5 standardist: In English, this term has no ostensible meaning.

1 hotline: This is the right word. A telephone hotline is supposed to guarantee speedy assistance with a particular issue, such as a purchase or a complaint, or sometimes even an emergency.
2 outbound: This is correct. An "outbound" bus (or flight) is the first component in your travel itinerary. Example: "The outbound trains are all leaving 10 minutes later than scheduled, due to heavy snow".
