Holiday in USA, how to call home

There are calling cards you can buy in Europe that will also work in the states. These card have US access numbers. I think that would be my first stop, especially if you have a need @ home for such a calling card.

If you are staying in hotels, BE SURE TO CHECK THE TELEPHONE POLICY. Many finer hotels charge hefty fees even for toll-free outbound calling. Each hotel is different. You will find, however, that most US hotels will have FREE internet access, either wireless or ethernet. Go figure!

As Motel75 wrote, it is best if you can call from a friend's or relative's home or office phone. Payphone fees can also be high as he described. It is a bit of an inconvenience to dial extra digits; some cell phones allow you to program those digits and the pin.
