[comp.dcom.telecom] Service fee for Toll-Free Calls?

WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA (05/06/87)

Last week I stayed at the Days Inn in Alexandria, VA while on TDY.  I
was suprised to find that, plainly marked on the phone cradle, they
charged 30 cents for 800 numbers as well as for local calls.  Can they
charge a "service fee" for toll-free calls?

[The Sheraton Boston charges 60c for every 3 minutes on local calls,
950 calls, calls to the operator (except toll calls), calls to 911,
and calls to 800 numbers. Apparently they can get away with it. --JSol]
