Check your local laws on that, in America there was a telephone company
many many years ago that got into trouble for doing that type of stuff
as the caller was billed but got what they thought was a ring or busy
but never an answer.  I dont know exactly which state or what set of
laws the telco was found to have violated, but the call was not answered
technically yet answering supervision was sent.  The laws may have
changed by now or been obsoleted by new ones I have no idea.
