my husband said for me to get mci as a long distance carrier,he said it will keep me from getting a block on my phone after 100 min.of calls from him,he also said its suppose to be cheaper does anyone know if this is true.thanks

Jen getting MCI will not stop you from getting blocks.I think everyone on here with MCI has been blocked ..most of the time for NO reason. But MCI is contracted with Arkansas ADC. I started out with a local company and ended up having to switch to MCI to continue my collect calls from Tucker. And from Pods post earlier this month ...I seen where The ADC receives 51 0/0 commision averaging over $2 million dollars annually from families on our collect calls.Look at her post for more info. The only number I have is the one I call when I pay my bill by phone.But I think if I remember right, it has new service on it selection choice...1-800-937-1048. I am charged $6.60 per 15 minute call, I don't know what you are currently paying.So I don't know if it is cheaper.Hope this helps some...:) kitty

so i just call this number and do what?are they a long distance company for the prison or what?

To my knowledge they are the company that the ADC is contracted with.If you want to use them call and set up an account with them.Ok... I tried the numder I gave you and it is not the one you need...Sorry!!! It is for an existing account..so I will look for another or maybe someone else has one.I will get back a soon as I can....Again, Sorry:) kitty

OK... OK ...I am back... I called the main MCI number and ask she said to call 1-800-231-0193. Just tell them what you are needing. And they will help you.Good Luck :) kitty
