It's almost completely a hoax. Although there have been a handful of reports of this, there is no evidence that anyone ever received an unexpected phone bill as a result (they are already expecting to pay long distance charges, so the $.25/minute of the call isn't surprising). Full debunking of the hoax can be found at http://www.wherecall.com/809.htm . Fortunately, you won’t get high (phone bills) off of this one. It’s almost completely a hoax.

There should be a special prefix to make an international outgoing call e.g. 011-1-809... Then again this is like a PC user opening an ".exe" attachment in their e-mail and then finds out his PC got infected with a virus. To me this is a problem with the NANPA dialing plan.
