Neither did I in late August from Praha.  International calls to the
USA could be made either from the hotel switchboard direct dial or
from a payphone and it was relatively inexpensive (about Kcs100 for
three minutes, about $4.00).  However international service was
difficult to obtain or unavailable in the provinces, where payphones
themselves were scarce!
