Rather than placing a call, some carriers have a number you can send an sms to and they will reply with a balance-notice sms. I'm running a system with kannel using the Smart carrier in the Philippines. For them you send "?1515" to "214" and they'll send a balance notice text, which is easy enough to run through a regexp and get the date/balance out.
