MCI's PrimeTime Plan (sm) would be the competition to the Sprint service you have just described. PrimeTime is designed for people who make most of their long-distance calls in the evening or on the weekends. PrimeTime savings are in effect from 5pm to 8am on weekdays, all day Saturday and all day Sunday until 5pm, and then from 11pm Sunday until 8am Monday morning. The plan costs a minimum of $7.50 per month, which includes one free hour of calls during the plan hours (defined above). You also receive a 10% discount on calls outside the plan hours, which will be billed at MCI's normal "mileage- sensitive" rates. After the first free hour, you are billed only for the time you actually use. Additional hours are billed at $6.50 (about $0.1083 per minute). And you still receive the 10% discount outside of plan hours. Sean E. Williams | seanwilliams@mcimail.com Spectrum Telecommunications | Have a good day!
