Zero Plus Dialing ripoff San Antonio Texas

Unfortunately not only hotels, but even hospitals, nursing homes (!!!) etc. use this same scumbag company. And I do agree these are outrageous charges.

To prevent similar situation, buy a pre-paid phone card for travel. (You can get one as cheap as 4-5c/minute.)You can buy those everywhere, or you can search the net for the best ones. Look for ones without added "service/maintenance charges".

You simply have to call a 800 numbers, then enter the pin number on the card.

The hotel phone will handle this as a 800 number. In most of the hotels 800 numbers are free or $1-2 max - regardless of the lenght of your conversation. Ask about it when you check in.

If you want to avoid even that $1-2 charge, simply find a PUBLIC phone in the hotel. Public phones NEVER charges for 800 numbers. Call your loved one with that calling card, and ask them to call you back in your room. Incoming calls are free.

Something more: you can share the pin number of your calling card with anybody, so for example your family members can share one card.

We have a big family, traveling a lot, without every paying anything for hotel phone bills.
