We also got a letter stating that 950-0777 service would be shut off immediately, since Dial 1 service was now available, and to just dial 1+ phone number to automatically route calls to Sprint. Unfortunately for Sprint, our primary LD carrier is MCI, and 1+ calls do indeed go to MCI. It looks like Sprint sent out those letters to a lot of people who shouldn't have got them.

Yes, but if you have an account set up, (and even if you don't) calls prefixed with 10777 1+AC+# will go on Sprint in all areas with Dial 1 service, and therefore 950-0777 is unnecessary except for calling card like service.

I tried 10777 after we went to equal access and failed; turns up you need to use 10333 + ....
