At one time that could have committed you to a significant charge on a
premium rate line. I am not sure if that scam has been "trapped".

Taking a call has always been free. The scam you're probably thinking is
where someone phoned you with a premium number hoping you'd phone them back.

Premium texts are more nasty where you pay on receipt. Some operators
allow you to block them.
