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.
