You can be charged for uncompleted calls in the U.S. if you stay
at hotels that have an in-house switching system. Some of these
hotels take billing info. directly from this switch and they
have no way of knowing if the call was completed or not. As a
result you will be charged according to the number called and the
time the phone is off-hook.
