I have successfully used by Nokia 6086 in Honduras and Guatemala when I found open, unsecured wifi hotspots. Multiple calls were placed to calls in the US, and my bill reflected local charges, NOT international charges. This is most excellent, and I'm keeping this phone for life.

The only problem I had was for sections of my itinerary where the hotel required a log in, and the phone could not get past that screen.

I would like to connect my laptop to the hotel's internet, pay their connection fee, then share my ethernet-based internet connection over my laptop's wifi and connect ad-hoc to my phone so that I can place phone calls at local rates.

The only problem is that my phone cannot find the open ad-hoc coming from my laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can I connect an access point to my laptop and share it's internet connection that way? Or can I adjust the settings on my laptop so that the phone can see it and connect?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
