We were not impressed. Our local telco (SaskTel) will at least change your phone number for FREE if you are getting harrassing calls. I assume that the unlisted number will still cost a per month fee. Darrell Broughton [Moderator's Note: IBT also gives one free change of number if you blame it on receiving obscene calls.
