A crisis hotline is a phone number people can call to get immediate emergency telephone counseling, usually by trained volunteers. Such hotlines have existed in most major cities of the United States at least since the mid-1970s. Initially set up to help those contemplating suicide, many have expanded their mandate to deal more generally with emotional crises. Similar hotlines operate to help people in other circumstances, including rape victims, bullying victims, runaway children, and people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or intersex.

Toll-free/ Freecall/ Freephone
A toll-free, Freecall, Freephone, 800, 0800 or 1-800 number is a special telephone number which is free to the calling party, and instead the telephone carrier charges the called party the cost of the call. A toll-free number is assigned from a special dialing prefix range (also known as area code) such as 1-800.
The price of the call to the called party is usually based on factors such as the amount of usage, the number experiences, the cost of the trunk lines to the facility, and possibly a monthly flat rate service charge.

Pentru UK:
In the United Kingdom, toll-free telephone numbers are known as "Freefone" numbers and begin with the prefixes 0800, 0808 or the old C&W range of 0500. 0800 is the most common used prefix. Additionally, numbers in the range 0808 80xxxxx are reserved for not-for-profit helplines.

Din pacate contextul furnizat era oarecum incomplet - la momentul cand am sugerat raspunsul. Notiunea de "toll -free" si cea de "hotline" pot fi foarte bine complementare. In cazul de fata e vorba de "Toll-Free Hotline", exact ca in contextul de mai jos:

Note from asker:
| nu cred ca este vorba despre un numar la care poti suna gratuit, este un numar obisnuit, este un numar de telefon la care se fac sesizari referitoare la cazurile de coruptie, deci implica si un telefon de incredere... |
