Was on holiday in the US travelling on my own and had to make short phone calls to France to say "I'm still alive".
Did not want to use my mobile phone as it is expensive. If I had known.
So, I used the public phones with credit card (forget the coins) to make six calls. No info on rates in the phone cabin. From earlier, inexpensive experiences calling with credit card in Europe, I did not worry. Again, if I had known.
Bitter surprise when I came back home after 7 weeks and got my credit card bill:
Total charge for my six calls: 513$ !!! And I did stay only a couple of minutes on each call.
It is simply organized larceny: I cannot imagine that in a country like the US something like that is possible.
Worse is: I feel ripped off and helpless. I used the service naively, and don't see any mean to contest.
