MCI WorldCom

Pros: Let me know if you find any
Cons: Seems like all calls are Long Distance

MCI Worldcom is not a wireless company. Even though they try to pass themselves off as one, they are in reality a reseller. They purchase bulk time from either Verizon (formally Bell Atlantic) or AT&T and then sell it to the end user at a premium...

Pros: State to State service good and rates are competitive
Cons: They don't tell you everything when you sign-up.

In my never ending search for the best long distance carrier for my home and Computer phone lines, I was pleasantly surprised by the rates offered by MCI WorldCom. They even offered me $50 to sign up with them and paid the charges to transfer the...

Pros: Using this review, you can really fix their wagon.
Cons: Fraudulent billing practices. Incompetence. Attitude.

There was a made-for-TV movie in the 1980s called "The Stepford Kids", in which the goth-punk teens of Stepford were transformed by their parents into perfectly dressed and well-behaved little robots. Starring Barbara Eden as a campy mom, this cinematic...

Pros: NONE~
Cons: Way to many to list here!

In October I received one of those very annoying phone calls from MCI were they try and get me to switch phone companies. Now I usually listen to their whole spiel and tell them No Thank You! Well this time it was different, there was a special...

Pros: Too few to mention.
Cons: Unreliable, terrible, horrible, just plain bad.

MCI Worldcom is the dial-up ISP that my workplace chose (gasp) to use when we first went on the web. I hesitate to even bother going online with this service, but you have to do what you have to do. Well, I end up using Free ISPs at work anyway. Here's...

Pros: The Neighborhood service promises unlimited long distance.
Cons: Illegal activities. Pricey. Incompetent service. Broken promises.

Unbelievably bad. Horribly monstrously bad. Like Freddie's Neighborhood, it'll give you nightmares.

My odyssey began simply enough. I saw an ad on TV for unlimited Long Distance (LD) calls across the US. I was planning a wedding (mine) with...

Pros: Not!
Cons: That's what they are!

Feb. 16, 1999, an operator from MCI solicited our long distance phone service. My notes taken about the plan they offered are as follows:

* Rates for Advantage American Airlines cardholders - 5¢ Saturdays and Sundays,...

Pros: Not with them anymore
Cons: They are still calling me

You will rue the day you ever had anything to do with this company. As I have just got off the phone with this company, I feel compelled to warn people about them. I have had continuous calls from them since I cancelled their service a month ago. I...

Pros: ???
Cons: I could not possibly list them all here.

Because I could find no place at Epinions to place long distance carrier reviews, I am placing it here. I know it is not quite on topic so the Topic Patrol can get me. Later, I plan on dangling a participle to the delight of the Grammar Police. But...

Pros: Amazon $150 GC
Cons: Good luck actually getting it

I was pleasantly surprised to find epinions about MCI. I found that my fellow epinionators have some valuable information about their experiences with MCI. If I had taken a moment to read them before I signed up with MCI, I would've seen the blazing red...

Pros: A big company with BAD practices finally gets in trouble
Cons: vengence isn't bittersweet... as a matter of fact, it's MIGHTY fine tasting

Vengeance is mine! Sort of.

As I was driving home last night, I heard a news story that caught my attention. I'm afraid I might do a lousy job of paraphrasing, but I'll try my best to get it right.

Backstory: I wrote an epinion...

Pros: none
Cons: really bad customer service

I have never been an MCI customer. Every once in a while, when I move or the tele-marketers call, I consider switching, but never have. Despite this, they seem to think that I am. This all started innocently enough - I got a flat tire. I went to...

Pros: NONE WHAT SO EVER
Cons: More than I can say in this little portion. They are PURE evil in every sense of the word.

My experience with MCI WorldCom was with their capacity as a long distance carrier. But since the name/company's the same, I'll give my opinion here.

My opinion is in the form of a chronological history of the events of my dealings with...

Pros: Some really nice representatives, good prices
Cons: Some really rude representatives, ridiculous policies

I have always been an AT&T girl; it was just automatic - whenever I was asked which long distance carrier I wanted, I always said AT&T without so much as a thought. Maybe it was just because they are a well-known company, maybe...

Pros: Reasonably priced service
Cons: Long waits, lack of customer service and shipping problem delays

Early last month I received a mailer introducing MCI's WorldCom Wireless Platinum phone service in which you would receive a free Motorola StarTac 3000 phone (the one that weighs only 3.6 ounces with a value of $49.99) along with a battery, charger and a...
