IDTC, a new killer application.. if you've ever been overseas and been ripped off on phone rates! Wow! We're going to see whole countries wanting to bill their calls through relatives in the US <g> Perhaps a litte overstatement but this is a very agressive initiative. "Friday February 12, 3:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release IDT Unveils New International Pre-Paid Service Debitalk Gives Calling Card Distributors and Callback Agents a New Way to Market Callback HACKENSACK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 1999--IDT Corporation (NASDAQ:IDTC - news) today launched a new pre-paid phone card specifically designed for the international marketplace. The product, called Debitalk, is the Company's first pre-paid callback phone card. Debitalk allows people around the world to bypass the high costs of placing international calls from countries outside of the U.S. Callback gives the caller the ability to make the international call as if he/she was calling from the U.S.; thus the lower rates apply. As a leader in pre-paid calling card distribution, IDT currently markets 30 different cards designed to meet the needs and requirements of various ethnic communities and different geographic locales in the U.S. IDT has combined its experience in the domestic pre-paid calling card market and its vanguard position in the callback industry to rapidly penetrate and expand the international segment of the pre-paid calling card sector.

Yamakita, It would be interesting to know, how does IDT's service and prices compare to competition, you are currently using. Please let us know, when you get feedback from them. Thanks.

I see everyone got this mornings news. This would have been great for yesterday. Either way, its a great application . Good day to all and I agree that the 17th isn't necessarily magical. It just signals a time when it would no longer be safe to be short the stock IMO.

I just heard that effective today BT Alex Brown has gone silent on IDTC. In other words, they carry the buy rec. and the price target, but they no longer discuss the company in their daily research notes to clients etc. I'm sure you all know that is a sure sign they are involved in the underwriting and it is indeed imminent. Does anyone here have access to Morgan, Bear Stearns and or Friedman Billings in order to determine if they have gone silent also? Looks like we're off to the races fairly soon. I'm guessing, next two weeks. Probably about the time of cc.
