Tell me if I've got this right:
You file a flight plan. Then when ready, you call the GCO to get your clearance, but no one answers. Under these circumstances, you may take off, maintain VFR, and pick up your clearance in the air--but you must maintain VFR unless you are in Class G. The better option would be to call Clearance on the telephone after your runup.
Believe it or not, I've never had this problem.
