This morning I was trying to make a call with my MCI card.  Since I was in
the boondocks in Vermont 950-1022 didn't work, it gave a "being checked for
trouble" recording like it always does there.  When I tried MCI's 800 number,
it told me that their new number for calling card calls is 800-950-1022.  Does
anybody know if this is a FG C number, like a regular 950 number, or just a
more mnemonic 800 number?
