It was occasionally amusing to keep them on the phone for about half an hour, and then say "of course, you realise this is an international call, there's no way I can buy what you're selling, and in fact this is costing you vast sums of money". Until I realised that they thought "international" meant out-of-state, and that they thought New Zealand was a town in Southern California.
And bulk buying international minutes to non-regulated destinations costs you less than a consumer pays for interstate call within the US. So if you time is worth less than $2 an hour, go ahead :-) If the event you describe happened 10 years ago, you actually did some good. Pete
