Reply #2: Maybe that's what it was. [View All]

And maybe MCI had just tossed a prerecorded pitch into the thing as well, to attempt to sell the person being called on some means of saving money on the collect calls from prison (which I gather are expensive).

I didn't stay on long enough to learn whether someone from prison was actually trying to call me and get me to accept the charges. Then again, I've had some bizarre calls at this number. I can't tell you how many times since I got it that I have gotten messages left on my machine for the same person...a person who hasn't had this number for nearly two years now. And also calls from other people trying to reach someone else, who just assumed they were reaching that person's phone. Agh!
