A call placed during those hours gets a 10% discount from the regular rates. Residential customers can choose "Prime Time" or "Saturday Supersaver," but not both. The plans start June 1. Current MCI customers should be warned that the existing volume discount plan is being scaled back. The rep denied that "Prime Time" is direct competition to Reach Out America, but then she repeatedly compared the two programs! Bob Hofkin
