Do you have to pay to talk on the phone with someone in the army?

My friend is talking on the computer to a man who claims he is in the US Army. They speak of love and the notion that they will be together when he returns from his tour in Afghanistan. He sent this e-mail stating that to contact him through a service called "TS2 Phoning Communication System" and it would cost 190 dollars:
