A lot of hotels have phones in each room which you can dial directly from (you don't need to call Reception or the Operator to make a call). You will usually need to dial 9 for an outside line from a hotel room or a business phone, but never from a residential (home) phone.
You can use a pre-paid calling card to save money on your calls but you will often still be charged a 'connection' fee on your hotel bill.
