Hey Everyone! :wave:

I have a question, I am about to move to Vegas, and my sweetie will be here in CA. I know out here we can now have MCI as our local Phone carrier to save with the hassle of getting them as a Long Distance carrier and so fourth.

Do I have that option in Vegas?

Or do I have to use Embarq/Sprint and get MCI as my Long Distance carrier and do the old school way?

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks Chicas!

Yes Candy you do have that option here in las vegas if it makes you feel better here is the link to the offices here in las vegas so you can call yourself to double check

As a business customer in the Vegas area with almost 9 locations there, I would double check about having someone other than Sprint as your local carrier as they are the local carrier for all 9 locations and then if I choose to change the long distance, I can do so but I still get just one bill.

I live here in Las Vegas. When my BF was housed in CC Detention Center I had a block on my phone. I had to call Evercom. They handle over 2000 correctional facilities though out the US. IMy BF just got transferred to Chino this weekend, so I am not sure if Evercom covers CHINO's lines. I will be calling them to find though. When I do I will let you know.
Here is there website. I hope that helps.

Pm me and I will tell you what I did. I live here in Vegas and my husband is in Chino. I went from $20 a call to only $3.75.

I moved here to Las Vegas a year ago, and yes you have to go through Sprint. His calls cost me more here than in LA.

I go thru PCO...hpw much does sprint charge..He's almost out so it really doesnt matter but i was just curious cindy

las vegas uses Sprint but MCI bills for the collect calls. The calls are $19.19 for 15 minutes. The calls used to be $8 when I had PCO. But I got a ## from At&t and it's only $3.75 now.

Dang cubana if i would have know that i would have used at&t instead...lol

I didn't even bother since I didn't want any more bills while he was gone. It was only 3 months, we survived and better off now for the experience. Letter writing is an awesome why to learn all about someone. Being that we had only been dating 2 months when he went in, the letters he wrote gave me the chance to know him better than if he was out during that time I think. Some things are easier written then spoken.
