Our code:
Person to Person: I'm just checking in, safe and sound, no need to call back or respond.
Person to Person COLLECT: I'm checking in, but want to actually talk to you. You can either accept the charges or call me back so you can pay the normal long distance fees, not the additional collect charges (which were insanely expensive).
This was at college, where most of us didn't have our own phones and used the dorm's pay phone at the end of the hall.
