I recently determined which countries are reachable through MCI and US Sprint by means of their respective credit cards ("MCI Card" and "FON Card"). The following table lists them. MCI answered my request for information without difficulty. A supervisor at US Sprint told me that US Sprint normally does not release such information, considering it proprietary. However, he sent me a photocopy of an internal US Sprint document that lists the reachable countries. The below table does not indicate which, if any, of the countries are off-net (reached automatically through AT&T lines). A few weeks ago US Sprint introduced residential service to all direct dial countries, most of which are off-net. It is possible that some of the new off-net countries can be reached with US Sprint's FON Card, too.
