Millionaire Phone a friend questions

(1/3) > >>

cmjb13:
How long does it take from the time the contestant says the persons name to the time they actually get them on the line?

Can you phone a friend outside the USA?

 You can phone only within the USA IIRC.

goongas:
It takes a minute or two.  They edit out the time when you see it on the show.

Steve McClellan:
It really doesn't take long. After the contestant says the name, Meredith says that they'll get that person on the line, and you hear ringing in the studio within about five seconds. The PaF is instructed to pick up after the third ring (the first two are edited). All in all, the process only takes about 20 seconds.

Contestants are specifically told that no "international calls" may be made, so you might be able to slip a Canadian by them, but that's about it.

 Wonder why?
