US Sprint offers 800 numbers for $10/month + usage billed in six
second increments. This is a real 800 number (not the shared scheme
described above). Note that they also offer the ability to get a
number that can be reached from anywhere in the USA and Canada. I
don't know if MCI's service allows Canadian access.
