Durante el horario de apertura de la oficina de recepción, debe disponerse de un servicio de recepción de llamadas telefónicas, con posibilidad de localización de un usuario mediante megafonía o similar y de poner en contacto al usuario con una llamada recibida a su atención. |
| | | metered calls | Explanation:
This system used to be very common - in all bars etc - in Spain. It involves / involved a meter that counts / counted the "pasos" of the phone call. The owner of the phone would then charge the user so much per "paso" after the call was over.
I am amazed that it still exists.
