A buck a minute for local calls .. what a BARGAIN!
I stayed 5 nights til Tuesday this week at the (Hilton) Waldorf Astroria in NYC.
Phone costs ..
$US1.75 plus tax per each local call, PLUS they were time capped. That is darn close to TWO BUCKS A CALL, and I sadly needed to made dozens to catch up with other FT'ers etc, leave messages etc.
Business Center .. 80c a MINUTE plus tax for internet use. No discount for length of time. $5 minimum.
That runs over
$50 an hour to check or send emails, so little wonder I was "quiet" on FT for a few days!
Anyone have an email address for someone at NY TIMES, as I will pass these charges on to them in case they do a follow up - have a bill loaded with them.
