Take care with this. I once stayed at a nice, name brand hotel in NYC  
for an extended business stay (3 weeks). I was informed that for 19.95  
per diem, I had unlimited internet and unlimited phone calls in North  
America. At the end, I was presented with a bill, the phone charges  
exceeded the room fees (over 2500$). Turns out that it was unlimited  
in North America (*).

Instead, I was paying a 24.95$/call international connection fee and  
150% the AT&T Operator Assisted Rates (if anyone remembers that kind  
of billing, I can only vaguely remember the big DDD vs Operator Assist  
billing days).

That was an ugly discussion with the hotel management.


Cheers,
Alan
