My wife and I have had MCI as our long distance carrier for several years. Last month my wife had to make an urgent trip to Illinois because of a critical illness in the family.
Naturally, I told her to call me every day and keep me posted on things. "Just use your calling card", I said. (We had used it only once or twice before in all the years we had it). Little did I or my wife know the price that would be involved.
Here are a few examples of the charges to make a call on the MCI Calling Card.
DALLAS to DONGOLA, ILL. 7min. $10.50
Dongola, Ill. To Columbus, NM. 9min. $13.00
Dongola, Ill. To Princeton, KY. 17min. $23.00
You do the math. This is over $1.40 per minute for a phone call!!!
Needless to say, after getting our $489.73 phone bill, we certainly will NEVER use the MCI Calling Card again.
As a matter of fact, I'm going to put it in my blender and puree that sucker!
Oh yes, I'll pay the bill. I was suckered once but I won't be suckered by MCI again.
Beware! Mci beware! Mci beware! Mci beware! Mci
