Be aware that family members or friends may be required to be billed directly by MCI if their bill for inmate calling exceeds $100.00 in any month.
Starting in September 2005 if a family member or friend receiving MCI carried collect calls reaches $100.00 in collect calling during any month, they may be contacted via automated message to establish a direct billing account with MCI.
Failure to establish the direct billing account with MCI within a reasonable amount of time will result in a block being placed on the telephone number until an agreement is established.
If any individual you call meets the $100.00 per month level or may reach the $100.00 per month level, MCI recommends that they contact MCI customer service now to set up a direct billing account and avoid any potential blocking of calls. (See number 877-873-8567)
Please share the above information with your family/friends. If they would like to set up a direct billing account now- please have them contact MCI at the number.
MCI Customer Service-Direct Billing Account Set-Up!
__________________________________________________ _______________
A direct billing account is not a requirement to have MCI as your long distance or local telephone service provider, nor will you be asked to change to MCI as your telephone service provider.

Thank you for this information... I for one kind of like it, it helps me budget a little better. We plan our calls better now. I live in Missouri and each time my baby calls it's right at $20.00, so it adds up fast. I like that you can call the 1-800 number and just pay what ever you want over the phone. If you have a block on your phone it removed between 15 minutes to 3 hours. Before it would take weeks for us here in Missouri to get the block removed. They use to put a block on our phone for no good reason and we won't know it sometimes for days.
