As to hotels....
A hotel we stayed at in Duesseldorf allowed no cost toll free outbound, so both the US or local prepaid card worked fine.
We stayed in a hotel near the Frankfurt airport (Gross Gerau) and I foolishly did not ask about 800 calls; I was charged for each one.
We stayed in another hotel in the south and were not charged for toll free calls.
We also stayed in several places in France and were not charged.
It is best to ask in advance about phone charges.
Agree with B that calls on your Cingy phone while abroad will be billed at the romaing rate REGARDLESS of what # you call or if you receive a call.
There are stories in German papers (teltarif) about the influx of foreignors for the world cup and some of them are buying German prepaid packages to save money.
Keep asking questions if you need to.
