|MCI's claim that they can give you an 800 number with the last seven
|digits being the same as your home phone # has got to be BS.

|[Moderator's Note: Even if MCI *did* own all the 800 echanges, it
|should be easy to see the fallacy in their presentation: My home
|exchange 743 is duplicated in many area codes. 

Who says how LONG the number is?

	1-800 MCIHOME {tone} yxzx 743-1923

would do just as they say ... and NOT use up big chunks of the NPA.
