I have a question regarding IDT (long distance company). Has anybody dealt
with this company before? My parents had signed up with IDT because of
their cheap long distance rates overseas (a call to Singapore was 21 or 25
cents a minute). When they got their bill last month, they were charged $76
in LOCAL phone calls. All of their calls to sign on to AOL, their internet
provider, which were local calls (within the same area code) were charged.
IDT says it is because GTE owns the AOL local numbers and that when they
had switched to IDT, they were no longer local calls. Is this legal? I
would appreciate any comments or suggestions on this.

Carol.
