You cannot make collect calls form cellphones. From Codetel landline you can use AT&T, Sprint, etc. look up their International Access numbers on google. The number will look like US number (1-800) but is free form Codetel/Tricom landlines (not frm cellphones).
Skype allows FREE dialing to US 1-800 numbers, or .02/minute dialing to US numbers, well worth downloading it. US numbers can not be dialed collect from 809/829 cellphone numbers, you will still be paying for airtime on Claro.
If you don't want to use Skype, it's very cheap to call 1-800 numbers from a "Centro de llamada".

no you cant
the Centro's will when you dial an 800 number give you a voice recording to call 881 which will cost you 10 peso a min. From a home landline you should have 0+ dialing, for collect third party ect. just like in the USA, but no access to this feature from a Cel.

From a codetel landline dial zero and inform the operator you want to call a number in the US "cobra revertido". If the operator asks who to tell them is calling tell the operator "es un banco, soy un cliente".
To make a collect call you must be calling a local number with area code not a toll free number.
