There's no way out. You make the calls, you pay.
Nothing anyone can do I'm afraid

I'd suggest ringing up the network and explaining to them you didn;t realise that the calls were so expensive, you're willing to pay but unfortunalty don't have that sort of money avaliable at present and can they work out some kind of plan to pay it off piece by piece.
Just be honest with them and see what they say

They will pass it onto collectors if you don't pay, so the suggestions to ring up are valid and definately the best next move.

ring up as mentioned above by Jules. Be reasonable with them and they'll be reasonable back.
