The US Embassy site makes it
crystal clear that you will pay a premium for visa applications, and that they will not, under any circumstances, transfer you to the visa section from the switchboard. I agree with other posts on the site - this is a very legitimate use of a premium rate line. If you were to see the number of people who were there on the day I applied for my visa, you'd clearly understand why they have put a premium charge on the calls
It looked to me as though half the world was trying to get a visa for the USA! On second thoughts, it was probably only all those people fed up with being ripped off by an incompetent BT and Ofcom......
