I hope that is not too much to ask. PAT] I just called Telecom*USA and was told to call MCI if I wanted to inquire about service, so it would seem that MCI is *not* going to just leave them alone. The person I spoke with called it a "merger" but it sounds like they were just swallowed whole and are in the process of being digested ... Last time I called MCI to ask about their "personal 800" service I had the feeling I was going to be slammed, and they didn't have any info they could send me on it anyway. Are MCI's services the same as Telecom*USA's were and what exactly did Telecom offer? reb *-=#= Phydeaux =#=-* reb@ingres.com reb%ingres.com@lll-winken.llnl.GOV ICBM: 41.55N 87.40W h:558 W.Wellington #3R Chicago, IL 60057 312-549-8365 [Moderator's Note: Their services were similar (as are all OCC's), but I always thought Telecom*USA did things more efficiently, and that their charges were less than MCI's. When I call customer service, I still talk to *them* -- not MCI -- but that is probably because I am already their customer. PAT]
