"Let's be clear: this is a robbery..."
I have not made a long-distance call from a hotel phone in years. I always use my cell phone. Overseas I can usually find a calling card that works out to about ten cents per minute for calls to the US; in a pinch, the cell phone is only a dollar or two a minute.
But the blue card attached to the phone cord in the Hilton intrigued me. It promised "An end to hotel phone hang-ups." Maybe hotels were finally becoming reasonable, I thought.
How about London to the US for around $7 per minute? An hour long call to the US would be $418.49. A quick check shows that I can fly from London to New York (round-trip!) for $453.
"Hilton’s phone rates mean calling from your hotel room has never been easier to understand." They are right. I understand perfectly.
