The version I recieved was pushing a service package with a monthly fee, so even If I switched back I would be liable for all or part of the monthly fee. 2.) Some of the fine print said that I would have to pay the BOC fee to switch. 3.) After the part of the agreement that said I would selecting MCI as my primary long distance carrier by signing the check, there was more fine print that said If I select more than one carrier none of my selections would be considered valid. To me this sounds like one could cash the check, but invalidate the selection wihtout technically violating the agreement. Of course, that would certainly violate the spirit of the agreement, and could cost more than $20 if you have to pay several switch over fees.
