Well, this is sorta right.

The FCC is allowing an extra fee for 800/888 calls from ALL pay phones.

Some (most) of the phone companies are passing this along to the 
customer cent per cent.  Some are even coding the bill to show which 
calls were from pay phones and which were not.

Some (a very small few) are using this opportunity to charge extra 
fees over and above the original fee.

Bottom line: Check your bill.  Contact customer care and ask.

Let me know how more I can help.
