I just got an international dialing instructions card (with list of codes) with my new MCI card, with a printing date of 2/90. Something new was a listing for "Soviet Union (Moscow Only) 7". I called for rate information, and the MCI rep gave me 011 7095 as the prefix to call (I think 095 was listed here as the city code for Moscow earlier) and the rates, which were lower than AT&T's rates of a year and a half ago (minimum 3 minutes @ $6 something, additional minutes still $2 or more, and operator assisted). The rates are: 1st min addl mins 1pm-2am 2.24 2.01 7am-1pm 1.84 1.72 2am-7am 1.69 1.55 I won't be trying it anytime soon, but I thought it was interesting that MCI was providing such a service. Is it just via AT&T? Is US Sprint doing this too? Dan Ross dross@cs.wisc.edu ...!uwvax!dross
