Called for a minute at Frankfurt Airport on 17th Feb 2010 to USA. The connection was operator assisted, at no time I was told about the applicable charges for the call or any other details.
Their website - www.callinf.com (mentioned on the Visa transaction charge details) provided the contact numbers. The gentleman informed of hefty connection fees and that the call was routed via satellite (again hefty call rate). There was no breakup available and also no explanation as to why the operator did not inform of such an expensive fees or this being an satellite call.
Have decided to logde a complaint with FCC and Visa Support, to ensure their practices are regulated.
The overall feeling is of being conned. I suggest people to avoid Credit card pay phones at Airports unless it is an emergency and be prepared for a bomb of a charge if called from.

90 dollars for 3 min from brussels to brazil,
I made a call for 2 minutes to Morocco and have to pay 20 euro plus 2 validations off 70 cent the day after????
How is it possible to call for like 10 euro a minute?
I did not make a call at Schipol. I entered my card typed the phone number and then cancelled as my flight was called. I think the thing rang once just before I pressed the cancel button and withdrew my card. 28.70 Euro !!! for What.
I also got a cut of 18 USD for 20sec call from brussel airport to India

Contact them directly.. I had the same issue when I used a phone outside our house to call a relative in an emergency as our phones were down inside the house.. NEVER again
I used a public telephone box in East Dean which did not accept cash. I had no option but to use a credit card via the number provided (for a call to a UK landline), which required operator assistance. No indication was given concerning the scale of charges that would be incurred. For a call of 5 or 6 minutes, my credit card has been charged the ridiculous amount of £30.60 ! Are BT complicit in this extortion ?
