IDT has problems in San Diego as well. They gave me six "local" numbers, only one of which is truly local (ie: no charge) and it was out of service almost all of February. If you call their 800 #, they are only too happy to sign you up and get your credit card #, but if you have any problems, they tell you to call Tech Support in New Jersey. The problem with that, is the two times I called them, I was on hold for 45-60 minutes before finally hanging up. (Those are not cheap phone calls when they show up on the bill.) They did not give a email address with their info packet. As soon as my account is activated with my new provider, I am cancelling IDT. The problem is how, since they don't seem to answer the phone. I guess it is time to call the credit card company and tell them to refuse any payments from IDT. Dave Goldsmith dave0219@wavenet.com
