MCI Calling Card
I have an MCI-WorldCom Calling Card (NOT pre-paid) I have been informed that calls from the UK to the US through their WorldPhone access number will cost me $1 connection fee and 9 to 14 cents per minute, to be charged to my home phone. Does this sound right?
Also, do any recent London visitors have info on buying British calling cards; which are the best value?

That actual seems pretty low. A ten minute call would be about $2.20, which is lower than the pre-paid rate (using the Costco cards).

A prepaid MCI card would sound right at that rate.
NO way in heck is a standard MCI calling card giving you that rate...
If you go to europe a few times a year - best bet for voice calls is to get a prepaid GSM phone and top that up as needed *AS* incoming calls are free and outbound calls on most providers (e.g. Orange) charge the same rate for international calls as a use on a contract plan (under 10p)
