Then hang-up and try the number again. When you use the line for the length of time that 6 rings consume, AT&T automatically starts billing MCI. MCI has no way of knowing if you were talking or if the phone was ringing. When we accidently let it ring more than 6 times and are billed for the call, a call to MCI removes the call from our bill. And they are really nice about it. I'll stick with MCI for cheaper long cistance calls and courtesy, too.
