Well, here around you pay from the moment someone (or something) picks
up the phone on the other side.

HylaFAX from my TPC cell now no longer even attempts to connect to the said number since HylaFAX thinks it is not a valid fax number and stores the number in a pool of numbers that will not be tried. 
This is an important feature. Consider "phone-terror" that would result
by not supporting this kind of cache. Consider: Somebody does not like
you, he just have to send n (with n>1000) faxes per day to your phone.
And bingo you have to change your phone number. ;)

Well, what about contacting the tpc cell and telling them that the
number got fixed?
