Legacy Collect Calls, California Charged outrageous fees for a collect call, without giving information about rates Cypress California

I received an emergency collect call from my son. We were only on the phone a few minutes and it was a local call. I was charged a total of $43.40. 

The first charge was for $1. And a second charge was for $42.40. 

The collect call provider did not, at any time provide information regarding the cost of the call. The was no live person operator, but only a recorded message with prompts. At no time were per minute rates given, nor any information on how the cost of the call would be determined. 

The amount charged was ridiculously high and I feel ripped off.
