That doesn't seem like much effort involved, so the problem is probably in knowing what the other companies are doing so you're not the mark.

I think in this example the slowest gazelle is the sucker that has to pay exorbitant international calling fees for a service they did not receive.

The companies themselves have little incentive to change things if it costs them money to do so and there's limited downside for doing nothing.
