Whereas my room was huge and very nicely kitted out, a couple of times, I picked up the telephone to call the UK, realised the time difference made it not a good time to call and put the phone back in its cradle before dialing.
When I went to check out the nexy day, I had been charged $5 each time for just picking up the phone!
The crew told me, to charge you, by law, there had to be a sign 5 x 5 (inches I think) explaining the charges, or they couldn't insisit on payment. So if the signs not there, don't pay the bill.
When you are tired, possibly jet-lagged and touring (and therefore encountering different time zones) you are not always aware of such things, but in this instance, I argued my case and the charges were dropped.
