MCI Introduces MCI One Net Savings; Power of Internet Gives Consumers Unprecedented Long-Distance Savings PR Newswire - February 27, 1998 14:06 MCIC %TLS %MLM %PDT V%PRN P%PRN ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- MCI today announced an enhancement to its on-line customer offering -- MCI One Net Savings -- allowing residential customers to use the Internet to receive added convenience and savings for long-distance calling. By signing up through www.mci.com, MCI One Net Savings customers receive a 24-hour flat rate of nine cents per minute for state-to-state long-distance calls, in addition to MCI Five-Cent Sundays. MCI is able to offer these fantastic rates due to the much lower cost of doing business on-line. For example, all MCI One Net Savings customers will experience the convenience of ordering through MCI's website (www.mci.com), the ease of credit-card billing and simplicity of on-line customer service while receiving high-quality calls delivered through MCI's state-of-the-art fiber-optic network. "MCI One Net Savings translates technology into a win-win proposition for both MCI customers and MCI," said Meg Pearce, senior manager of MCI brand marketing. "By utilizing on-line technology, MCI customers will receive additional value while at the same time MCI will realize significant cost savings." MCI residential long-distance customers also benefit from MCI's advanced integration by receiving unlimited local access with MCI's Internet service for only $14.95 per month. Beginning Monday (March 2, 1998) consumers are invited to join MCI One Net Savings by visiting www.mci.com -- then simply point-and-click to sign up. MCI, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a leading provider of local-to- global communication services to business, government and residential users. The company's fast-growing portfolio of advanced data, Internet and IT services now accounts for nearly a quarter of MCI's $19.7 billion in annual revenue. MCI operates one of the world's largest and most advanced digital networks, connecting local markets in the U.S. to more than 280 countries and locations worldwide. MCI has agreed to merge with WorldCom, one of the world's fastest-growing communications companies. The merger, which is expected to be completed by mid-1998, will create MCI WorldCom, a company uniquely positioned in the U.S. local and long-distance markets as well as the global data and Internet markets.
