A tip for ALL cellphone users in Holland, Spain and Germany
When you use your cellphone to call abroad use this service:
http://www.phonetonetele.com/
They offer cellphone calls to the USA for just €0.04 to €0.07 compared to the normal price of around €0.55. All you need to do is call their access number, and then dial the international number.
BEWARE: MCI, AT&T cards etc.. will NOT work on european cellphones as these companies would need to pay the extra tarrif for mobile originating calls. I've been using phonetonetele for some time now and am extremely happy with it. Call quality is great.

I would check on using the service from hotels carefully. This appears to be a "dial-around" service, similar to www.onesuite.com here in the US. You should ask the hotel if the access number is a local, toll or toll-free call and what the base charge is for these calls from the hotel phone. You don't want to pay excess hotel or other phone charges if you don't have to. I would also check with your cell phone provider and ask the same thing.
