When do long distance rates apply?

I keep getting calls from the same out of state phone number. When I answer no one says anything they just hang up.
I am thinking of doing something childish and vindictive. That is calling that number letting it ring then hanging up before anyone answers.
My question will I be billed for a long distance call if I hang up before the call is answered?

If it's just ringing, no, you don't get charged.

Your best bet is to do an internet search on the number that's calling you. Most likely a spammer.

Long distance charges? Who has those anymore?

No, but you won't be getting through their line either. You'll get a busy signal.
