The only service remotely like what you're describing are 900(and 
possibly 976) numbers. The caller has to through some method(possibly by 
just not hanging up) agree to the charges(per call and/or per minute).

They carry a stigma though, and are normally considered to be for adult 
entertainment or gambling. Most households, I expect, subscribe to 
900/976 blocking.
