If you didn't try to log on before about 0400 GMT (noonish, here), you 
wouldn't know.  The whole system just fell in on itself yesterday 
afternoon.  Somebody screwed up a security algorithm and it brought the 
peer-to-peer network down.

I have PrimusTel on my keitai, but my keitai is old (I'm waiting for one 
particular model to drop a little more in price) and people abroad 
complain about the sound quality.  The guys at Primus jimmied the system 
a bit, but it was only temporary.  NTT wants you to use "010" and 
doesn't like "00++" numbers.  They wouldn't let me change my contract or 
setup to permit it when I wanted to.
