Right. Callers from outside your country sure appreciate that

as it's not readily apparent to foreigners that caller pays applies.

Anyone dialling from outside the UK can spot a UK mobile number as
it will start +44 7... (where + is 011 for NANP countries).

+ is the international instruction to dial the routing digits to make
an international call. I believe we all recognize it.

I've never seen a comprehensive list of caller pays or other surcharged
numbers in other countries, and you probably don't know what they are
for my country. I have seen incomplete lists and I've read that there
are plenty of exceptions.

It's up to your calltime provider to advise you how much calls will
cost. (Who else can say?)

My service won't know in advance under all circumstances.

As a random example AT&T quote separate landline and wireless rates to
various countries so it should be readily apparent to anyone who bothers
to check international calling rates before dialling:

I've seen such lists before. This list doesn't have the surcharge, so
it's not all that helpful. It doesn't even tell you which are premium and
which are caller pays mobile.

I do note that several countries in NANP have surcharged numbers, I
assume mainly for caller pays mobile. That should be a surprise to anyone.
