but how much does it cost to make the phone call. Don't they get charged per minute by phone companies?
Not phone companies, but phone APIs.

If you do it well, $0.0140/min.
Also, don’t underestimate the incompetence/lack of care that some of these companies may have. Just because they could reduce costs by flagging unresponsive numbers doesn’t mean they necessarily will.
If I had a dollar for every time I told my company how I could refactor code to reduce costs....
If no one answers, they're not spending minutes, are they?
