What exactly does a suicide hotline do? Call the ambulance the moment you mention suicide and charge you for it?

Mostly they listen and try to provide an outlet, offer coping skills, suggest places to turn for help.

And yes, some services will call an ambulance if they think you're in imminent danger. Others don't.
