MCI now charging extra payphones when using their phone card!!!
MCI has started charging a 65 cent surcharge on calls using their phone cards ...
I have a MCI phone card and it is a pretty good deal, because you can make calls from a payphone for 3 or 5 cents a minute.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Where they get you is that a person near a landline phone or with a cell phone would not need to use a payphone. I would think the main reason for using _any_ calling card would be to avoid dropping coins in a payphone box. So although they _claim_ a decent rate of 3-5 cents per minute, they know the actual rate will be 65 plus 3-5 cents (or 68-70 cents) for one minute. PAT]
