The price for using the phones in the hospital rooms is very reasonable.
If you have an unlocked cell phone, the cheapest way I've found to communicate with an eplus prepaid SIM card... .15 to connect to US, then .09 Euro cents/minute. .25/.15 for inside Europe. Incoming calls are free, but have a premium charge to caller (additional fee, something like .20/minute) as do most European cell phones.
Wireless internet free at St. Elisabeth (I'm not sure if it's ready for public, but technically it's been working for a year.) T-Mobile hotspots (paid WLAN access) in cafeterias at both hospitals. Wired internet great at Bogen, costs 5 Euro/day.
I have cell phones you can borrow if we meet up, but I may leave earlier now due to schedule changes.
