How do you say that in Spanish. My guess is reversar los cobros, but that's just a guess.

Llamada por cobrar.

"Reversar" no es español.

In Spain, we call these "collect calls" "llamadas a cobro revertido".

That's right, exactly per Oxford bilingual
collect 2 adj (AmE) ‹ call / cable › a cobro revertido, por cobrar (Chi, Méx)

Thank you. It's difficult to remember these kind of things after 30 years of living out of your country...
