Hi;
There are lot of announcement that one can be play and the user wont be billed.
If the Telephony company change its numering plan, you will get a prompt to add/change digits in the dialed number.

I think the problem here is that if you accept the call and then you
play the announcement the call will be billed.



Well, I can see why one would not want the call to be billed. But I expect that your telephone company would be irritated if you were delivering information to the caller but preventing the call from being billed. If the call can legitimately not be billed, there should be a reason for call failure that can be presented to the caller that is an acceptable user experience.

I am reminded of an event in an early X.25 network.  A bank discovered that
X.25 allowed it to return a "reason for rejecting the connection" when
rejecting an incoming connection -- and that the network operator did not
bill for rejected connections.  So in its credit-card approval system, the
credit-card information was inserted into a suitably formatted X.25
connection request to the bank's system.  The bank's system would determine
whether the charge was to be approved, and based on that, send a suitable
rejection.  This allowed it to process a huge number of transactions without
paying X.25 charges.  Eventually the network operator discovered this scam
and presented the bank with a huge bill.
