Yak Communications, a long distance and dial around provider, has jumped into the local telephony market with a service priced at a competitive $34.95 per month. The company claims that there aren't any hidden fees and the monthly price will not creep up as does service from the incumbent telephone companies. Other features included in Yak's telephone service include voicemail, caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting and conference calling. Yak, which doesn't have its facilities, will lease network capacity from Telus Corp. to provide the service.
