Got MCI/WCOM for my long distance and local provider and internet connection too....BUT.... They charge me 59 cents a MINUTE when I use my calling card plus a 99 cent surcharge for state to state calls. Can you guys believe that? I called and asked why in the hell should I use your calling card thingie when I have free wireless minutes with my cute Q phone? They immediately offered me a reduced rate of 25 cents/min. for calling card use (with the same surcharge). I'm telling you guys, these dudes who have only commodities to sell (data, voice, etc.) like AT&T and MCI/WCOM are going to be in deep trouble. I sold my WCOM stock sometime ago because of all this. They are going to be cutting their profits to zero if this keeps up. Ricky <H>
