My hotel in Luxembourg offered this handy phone-dialing-and-charge list. I was interested to note that evidently Alaska and Hawaii are no longer part of the 50 United States (although you'd be charged the same for a phone call to those places as to any of the other 48).

(According to Babelfish, the phrase "plage réduite" means "reduced beach" though I'm not sure how that relates to phone calls to North America.)
