I was disappointed to find out it's really nothing at all too special. Basically, the representative said all you have to do is call your Personal 800 number. Instead of entering your "security code", just wait for the operator to come on. Tell the operator what number you would like to forward your 800 number to, and the operator will immediately make the changes. Every time you do this, you will be charged $1.00 (but of course, you qualify for MCI's 2% volume discount when your bill reaches or exceeds $100.00 during one billing cycle.) Sean E.
