- Well Thomas it does really depend on the amount of calls you make. Since I dn't
- make many calls per month, Sprint's THE MOST works out best. It has no miminum
- amount of money that needs to be spent each month. It gives a 20% AUTOMATIC
- discount ( MCI's Friends and Family requires you to make your own list of MCI
- customers you can get a discount on). Also, Sprint's THE MOST gives you 20 %
- off all calls to the person who you talked to the most minutes. (It sounds
- confusing but it's a simple idea.) Then you can get a 36% discount if the
- person who you called the most often that month was also a Sprint customer.

- Also, call the 800 #'s of the phone companies and ask about their sign up
- promotions....... When I just signed up for Sprint, I got 70 minutes free or
- something like that........ All you have to do is ask these representatives and
- you will get the best deal.... hope I helped ya.
