.. because they seem to have no problem calling me unsolicited. In the past 3 days I must have answered 10 anonymous phone calls only to be hung up on by their dialing machine. I finally got a real person a few seconds ago and told them to put us on thier "do not call list" so I thought I'd share. Bastards..

When I used MCI, they spammed me big time, try put us on special plans and then end up bill me, instead I send the charges back, failed. Send to FCC, it was solved.
MCI is awful, so do AT&T! :angry:

Is your phone line a residential line or a business line (you don't indicate)?
The reason I ask is that the laws regarding telephone solicitations only apply to residential phone lines, not business lines. Meaning that if you are a residential phone user, your request to be put on their do not call list must, by law, be honored. If, however, you're a business phone user, your request does not have to be honored. :mad:
And from experience - MCI keeps track - I've asked them 3 or 4 dozen times to stop calling me, but they keep calling my business line (they have indeed stopped calling my home line), and unfortunately the law says there's nothing I can do. :angry:
It's a residential line. Telling them to put us on the do not call list seems to work for a few months at a time but this isn't the first time I've had to do it. I always feel bad.. the girl I talked to the other day sounded absolutly crushed. That job's gotta suck..

I once had a job (attempting) to sell international outbound *fax* traffic. I can't recall anything sucking worse, not to mention the internet was pretty much killing that industry... hmmm... I've had a couple of those jobs actually. Selling roll film to newspapers who were going digital, etc... *pfffft*
Ohhh and yes, MCI does indeed suck. The totalnic of domain registrations. The suck of suck.
