In the USA the term "collect call" is used.

I've not heard this said in the UK.

Reverse Charge (e.g Call paid for by Receiver), I think!

Yes, HJSimpsonuk, you're correct - caller 'collects' the charges.

Thanks.

Do you still have to phone the operator to do this and what are the call charges relative to a standard call?

Yes, you have to phone the operator. There is also a company working with BT that deals with this type of call that you can apparently reach by dialling '0800 REVERSE', though I haven't tried it.
Searching online for call charges for the BT service results in a total muddle of information. Best ask the operator.
