More Bad News About IDT.net – NO PHONE BOOKS!

I can’t even believe this as I am writing it.

I have been a customer of IDT.net for two or three years.  I asked about phone books today and was told – after a long wait on hold – they DO NOT have phone books and that “I should look in the White Pages to find a place where to order!”

I asked what to look under and the IDT representative said she did not know.

I am still on hold.  She is finding out now…

Ok, I’m back… I was told to call the Yellow Book at: 1-888-266-5765.  I was told the phone books would cost from $6.00 to $150.00.  This information came from the IDT representative. 

Imagine having phone service with NO PHONE BOOKS!  What next.

Check out my April 27, 2007 post about IDT and the Fraudulent $.99 Paperless Phone Bill Charges.

Scott Kelby Makes The Cover of USA Today

Check it out… Scott Kelby, Photoshop Guru and President of NAPP / National Association of Photoshop Professionals was on the FRONT page of USA Today last week. (5/8/2007)

Here is the comment I left:  (I meant it all!)

In 2001, right before 911, I attended my very first Photoshop Seminar Tour with Scott Kelby in NYC. He literally “changed the course of my life.”  

About 7-8 years ago I discovered I had a flair for digital design. I started with Paint Shop Pro like most on the web. Found out quickly that Photoshop was the industry standard. Thought it would be a breeze. WRONG!!!

I thought it would take forever or never to learn all the cool stuff people did with Photoshop. WRONG!!!

In ONE DAY with Scott Kelby I learned that “I could learn quickly and that it was all a few clicks away!” IF I could bottle the feeling I had when I left the Jacob Javits Convention Center that day, I would make millions.

It was what Dr. Phil would say “A Defining Moment!” I am a dedicated NAPP Member and in my book: “If Scott Kelby does it, it has to be good!” (sight unseen). I already have my ticket to the June, 2007 Photoshop Seminar Tour in NYC. IF Scott will be there, so will I! Scott Kelby makes a long and tedious day of learning, fun with his humor and Photoshop expertise.

Eric Lofholm’s 10-Step Goal Setting Process

Eric Lofholm is a Master Sales Trainer.  I have been a student of Eric Sales Protege Program for 2-3 years now.  It’s been such fun that I totally lost track to be honest of the amount of time.  All I know is, I attend as many of the Thursday Evening Weekly Calls as I can.  It is one of the few constant’s in my life and has given me support and encouragement whether I needed it or not.

As we all know…  In the scheme of things there are always those who will tell us how we CANNOT DO something.  Eric Lofholm is the opposite… Each week he recognizes all of us for attending the call, listening live in-the moment, or listening later via podcast. For me… Eric’s calls have become an essential part of my life.

For me… Two of Eric’s most helpful philosophies are:

1) Stay In The Conversation – to me this one is for consistency and motivation

2) Everything Counts – to me this one concept helps me accomplish huge goals – one baby-step at a time

Last Thursday, May 10, 2007, Eric Lofholm’s Sales Protege Call covered Goal Setting.  Eric shared his 10-Step Goal Setting Process 

In the spirit of the Internet, Giving Back and the Universe… Eric asked us to “pay it forward” and share it with at least THREE (3) People.  I said I would do one better… I would share it with the entire Internet by posting it here: (When people help me I am more than happy to let the world know it.  Just knowing Eric Lofholm and being a recipient of his expertise, kindness and generosity I have become a better person.  It is absolutely true what they say:  “WE LEARN BY EXAMPLE!”

NOTE:  I believe Eric even said we did not even have to say it came from him.  I am doing this because I feel credit should be paid where it is due.

Eric Lofholm’s 10-Step Goal Setting Process

1) Think about what you want and write it down.

2) Decide exactly what you want and write it down.

3) Look at your goal and make sure it is measurable.

4) Identify the reasons why you want your goal and write them down.

5) Decide on exact date you want to accomplish your goal and write it down.

6) Make a list of action steps to accomplish your goal and write it down.

7) Create a plan from your list of action steps and write it down.

8) Take action

9) Do something everyday.

10) View, visualize, and speak your goals daily.

IDT Fraudulent 99 Cents Paperless Charge… CHECK YOUR IDT BILLS

Hi:

Please let everyone you know, know about this. 

I have been using IDT (idt.net) for a few years now for unlimited
long distance phone service.

I just became aware that they have been charging me .99¢ (99
cents) EACH month for the past five months for a *paper charge!*
According to them it is because I receive a *paper phone bill!*
(snail mail)

They went on to tell me that *I COULD* have the CHARGE REMOVED
… JUST BY ASKING.

So they have not only been charging me for their service, which I
am happy to pay for, but they are also charging me for the
*privilege to bill me!*

I am posting this in case any of you are or know anyone who is
using IDT.net for their phone providers.

As well, you might want to look at your other bills to see if you
are receiving a *paper charge!*

I saw this on Channel 2 one night a long while back. At the time
MY provider was not charging it.

Imagine how many millions they are receiving by charging ALL
their customers 99 cents EACH month. It is NOT just about me.

In the end they refused to take the entire charge of $4.95 off.
After I said I was going to let everyone know and contact Channel
2, the guy agreed to take off a whopping $2.00.

I plan to post this every place I can. I am more than a little
furious.

Have a good weekend.

Roz
