I am now much more careful about my long distance telephone service. I chose to use MCI for long distance service because they had a very competitive cost and I thought would offer me high quality service. Unfortunately MCI was very deceptive. They raised prices of the plan I chose and introduced new lower cost plans. They also charged a very unreasonable high cost for international calls. When I realized that MCI had raised prices after "hooking" me as their customer, I switched carriers immediately.
MCI renamed themselves WorldCom and then merged with Verizon. I have little faith that telecommunications companies will treat me fairly so I try to be wary. I will comment on my experience with Sprint cellular service and CoVista Communications/MSNLD on other pages of this website.
