Hi, I'd like to know the opposite word of toll-free call.
Is "pay call" correct or understandable?
 
If the opposite is a toll-free call, it seems logical to me to call it a toll call.
 
In the old days of monopoly phone service, calls that were outside of your local calling area were called "toll calls."
 
What about "chargeable calls"?
 
If the opposite is a toll-free call, it seems logical to me to call it a toll call.

I made a mistake in my question. I should have asked, "What do you call calls we have to pay the charge?"

Your original question was perfectly understandable.
