Reverse charge call is a phone call that requires the receiving party to pay for the call i.e. reverse call charges; it agrees to receive from the calling party. The reverse call charges are clearly mentioned to the called party and are charged through a Premium SMS after the conversation ends. There are number of companies that offer reverse call charge services in many countries including UK and USA where it is referred to as a collect call. The growth of reverse call services is attributed mainly to the shortcomings of prepaid mobile phone accounts. While many people use prepaid mobile phones in order to counter the high roaming charges when visiting other countries, the costs associated with them are quite high, especially when you have to leave the country and still have some euros or pounds left in your account. This credit left on your prepaid phone will most likely expire before you revisit the country. This lost credit pushes up the costs of your prepaid phone calls. That's why; many people prefer reverse call services over prepaid phones while visiting other countries.
