The validation call is made within 15 minutes of you adding the number 
to the website, so the calls are determined by the end user for the most 
part, they are automated and generally kept as short as possible to keep 
costs down.

We've set a call cap on calls anywhere that costs more then 20c/minute 
is asked to donate to help cover costs... Most landlines in most 
countries is usually under 10c/minute...

I'm fortunate not to be under per meg charges or download caps as I live 
in Australia as well...
