Actually, that is a great idea.

Mark those numbers so that they have some high rate like $10 per minute 
so that the call won't go through you.  Also play a message "you may 
have high charges calling this number" if they haven't checked the rate 
for the number before dialing.

That way, it is the customer's choice to dial the number or not and the 
worst you can be accused of is warning your customers if they don't have 
their systems setup to check the rate before dialing.
