I've seen UK banks (to be fair not just banks even wireless service providers) charge for a phone call to their customer service number! (the equivalent of a U.S. toll-free service).

It’s fairly common in Europe. At least it usually means it’s technically illegal for them to put you on hold.

For airlines, I know Europeans that will pull up Skype and call their airline’s US number if they have one.
