MCI Neighborhood Deal-has anyone looked into it?
I hope this is the correct forum to post this. On Monday MCI announced a new residential rate. 49.99 for unlimited local AND unlimited long distance- 24/7. In addition, there is free caller ID, call waiting, voicemail , dial8, etc.. Comments from anyone who has looked into this deal?? Thanks!!!

Actually, no - this is not the appropriate forum, this forum being specifically for: Discussion of the latest frequent flyer program buzz.
I would suggest Omni.</font>

Well, ScottC - I had the same initial reaction. But FT's version of "SPAM" requires some mention of miles or points.. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
I'm trying to give this poster the benefit of the doubt that he/she really is asking for feedback and NOT promoting a product.

I'm really shocked by some peoples attitude. I feel like the poor guy was trying to get information out. As far as I understand you do get miles for spending money through mci. If you can funnel all the money from your local company to mci, its a great deal i would think.

My neighborhood hasn't joined "THE NEIGHBORHOOD" yet, evidently. Don't you just hate that??! It would sure save me some mega-bucks. Thanks for the heads-up!

From the first look it may be a better deal. I need to run the numbers. Would you earn miles on the whole $50?
I personally think this is the right place for this. It has to do with MCI, miles from MCI, and new services.

I just signed up for The Neighborhood. Did it by phone. The rep said I would get 2000 bonus miles and 5 miles for every dollar of the $49.99 per month.
I've been with MCI for two years and have never had a problem getting UA miles.
This is a pretty good deal for local and unlimited long distance. I didn't have to call my local company to disconnect and I got to keep the same phone number.

Before you switch to this plan, read the posts on this FT thread about using MCI for local service. The savings are not great enough for me to take the chance. I'll stick with my combination of Verizon and http://www.onesuite.com.
