using any of the minutes available on the card.
When you purchase an MCI prepaid phone card ,
You can buy the smallest amount of time available. <5 mins I think> And use it
for a full year untill they update their mainframe.Which is annually but I
don't know the exact date of their updates.
Anyways,you buy the card for a few bucks,follow the instructions like
normal.Calling the toll free #,etc.
When you get the recording telling you the # of minutes remaining on your
card,simply push the "FLASH" button on your phone.Or the "CHANNEL" button
depending on your type of phone.
This will freeze their mainframe.Their mainframe is waiting on you to dial
your long distance # and will remain inactive untill you do so.
OK,you have called the MCI phone card 800 number,waited for the remaining
minutes available message,immediately hit flash or whatever before the mainframe
has a chance to tell you to dial your #.
The mainframe is now frozen waiting for your call By hitting flash you now
have a new line.Dial the MCI 800 #.Again while you have the computer on the
other line waiting for your response.Go through the same method as above but
this time complete your call. Stay on as long as you want regardless of how many
minutes you have purchased!!
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE MCI COMPUTER ON THE OTHER LINE AND IT IS FROZEN THIS
WILL WORK!!
Every time you use the card,you will still have the same amount of time
remaining on it. Just hit the flash button and dial the same # again and
complete your call on the other line.YOU MUST HIT FLASH WHEN THE COMP TELLS
YOU THE REMAINING MINUTES OR THIS WILL NOT WORK.
