I'm not sure where you gleaned that term from, but 'call collect' is an american term for what we'd call a reverse charge call. The number range is more properly described as 'revenue share' where a few pence per minute paid to the telco is also passed on to the user oif the line. Either way, for NTL, the cost to them of providing free calls to CS and Faults over their network is negligible. Of more interest is when you call them and the recorded announcement states what the call prices are via BT.... it's almost as if they didn't know they had a network of their own!
