If it was someone else's calling card...

You can pick up an existing landline, use a 1010 number, and get
billed the long distance rates for that 1010 number to your existing
landline. I don't know if that would get around a VZ block, though.

I also remember that with tradition land lines (well, the last time I
had one) you were always given a "complimentary" calling card who's
charges would be added to your landline bill. I wonder if someone
figured out Patrick's calling card #?
