Okay, Since Northwest is dumping MCI for Sprint, I took the plunge and switched to Sprint from MCI last night. I subscribed with MCI for almost 10 years! Here is my impression:

Sprint has a human answer the phone after two rings. MCI puts you through the most extensive voice mail system on the planet (If you are undecided, press 3...or maybe 4) and then makes you listen to Muzak for 20 minutes or so.

However, MCI is less expensive for my residential phone demands.

MCI charged me .09/minute 24 hours a day and .05/minute on Sunday. MCI send me my invoice via the internet and automatically charges my mileage Visa card, giving me an additional mile per dollar spent and netting me 6 miles per dollar spent.

Sprint is .10/minute 7pm-7am and on weekends, .25/minute all other times. Ouch! Also, 5 miles per dollar spent.

I switched because I am the *Mileage Addict* but I think I will grab the 5,000 NW miles I receive in the next few weeks, forget about the other 5,000 I would be entitled to in 6 months and switch back to MCI. Even though I won't be able to go back to MCI with Northwest miles, I will gladly take their United promotion since I seem to be flying UA more and more.
