Anyone besides SBC for telephone service in the East SF Bay Area?

[BlamoHammer]

I hate SBC and refuse to use them for anything so I am on the lookout for another company with which to have telephone service through. Anyone know of any other carriers in this area? I'm in Walnut Creek

$25 a month for unlimited local. Thats all I plan on using it for. The only reason I want to have it is for times when my cell phone reception is bad, battery is low/dead, or I plan to be on the phone for awhile on an 800 number. SBC has a basic plan for like $10 a month...I want something similar but with another company

What's wrong with SBC? When I move in a few weeks I was planning on getting service with them.

I've been a customer with them twice and both times bhave ended up in overcharging and billing errors. It's a personal thing.

Not if your cell phone battery is. And wasting 20 minutes on a call to customer service is stupid.
