Access to the 0845- number to call my ISP runs £22/£12 per hour (peak/off-peak). I could actually come out ahead by arranging for a call-back service to call my room and then call a U.S. access number!
Last year, I had a deal with MCI that worked out to be about 14 cents/minute from Europe to the states with no surcharge. Whereas I was able to make use of "free" toll-free access while in LHR, I could not do so in Sweden, so simply used the MCI card to connect to one of my ISP access numbers in the states.
