Kenneth, Be warned that once you sign up with IDT it is almost impossible to close your account via IDT customer service. IDT really only does one thing well and that is to take your money, nothing else. You'll find that most people that do close their accounts have to do it through their credit card companies. Only after IDT has been "charged back" the amount you paid from your credit card account, will they willingly close your account. From my experience this is the only way. If you call their customer service, they'll just lie to you. You have to call your credit card company and demand a forced credit. They will require you to write them a letter explaining the situation, so keep track of all your IDT communications so you can justify your demand. Good luck. timothy -- Timothy J.
