[comp.dcom.telecom] Sprint's Answer to ATT USA Direct / International 800

eli@pws.bull.com (Steve Elias) (10/10/90)

One can now access US Sprint on calls from France to the US ... When I
was in France last January, I was amazed at the lousy quality and
number of dropped connections on ATT calls from Paris to Boston.  If
you have a Sprint FONcard and the good fortune to be in Paris, I'd
appreciate a report of the quality and longevity of your phone calls!

Also, Sprint international 800 service is now available from France
and a few other countries.  This is probably a result of the same
technofeat that makes "Sprint Direct" (or whatever it's called)
possible.  The customer service rep tells me that my US 800 number is
already dialable from France and the UK.
