International reverse charge call on Three

Hi all

I need to place a reverse charge (collect) call to my broker in the US.  They have a facility to accept reverse charges from the UK.

I am able to do this via landline via an international operator (on 155) but cannot do this via my Three mobile.  Any ideas how I can?

Thanks.

    I didn't realise that international reverse charge was still around. Most providers stopped supporting them because of problems with abuse (there's a revenue sharing element)

    Nowadays international freephone numbers are much more common (Country code 800) sometimes known as UIFN or Global Freephone numbers. 

    But there are services that  claim to offer a local access number then connect your call via reverse charge. I have never used one so can't vouch for them.
