Anybody know whence went Yak?
Failing that, know of another cheap-but-dependable call-around 10-10-xxx provider?

Yak is still around. they are part of Wind Mobile. Surprised it doesn't work for you.
Google Phone is free subscription and $0.02/minute. Rather than dialing
10-10-xxx first, you sign up for a Google phone number, then for international calls, dial that number, then in the menu select international call and dial the international number. You can do this from any other phone, including your cell phone.
The Evil Empire sure has some nice fringe benefits.

Well, that covers "international" OK.
What if ya wanna call Hilda on the other side of town? In the next town? In the next state?
