I actually didn't get the check so when the first phone bill came after the
switch I called MCI and they applied a credit for $75 to the next bill. They
were pretty good about it. They said a check had been sent but I never
received it. My house address is a five digit number so sometimes data entry
people only enter the first four digits and I don't get some mail. I've
noticed this on several things like the CompUSA rebates where the product
ends up being free. When I try to track down my rebate check with their
processing center they have only entered four digits.  Sometimes I get this
mis-addressed mail, sometimes I don't. But MCI came through with the credit
on my bill.
