Not only international call costs money (yes, it is extremely cheap SIP nowdays), but the time of call center operators costs money as well, And it is really not so cheap for the end customer (i.e. spammer), even in India.

You should ALWAYS talk to the call center behind the robocaller.  The robocaller (the one playing the message) is relatively local and the cost of that call is minimal.  When you select to talk to the robocaller, that generates an international handoff to a call center in India.

Generally the call center phone number is also "local" even if the warm body is in some other country as that usually occurs via SIP.
