.08 Option F (MCI 800 Service)
MCI 800 Service is an inward WATS service which permits domestic and international calls to a customer's station in one location from stations in diverse geographical service areas, and in which the MCI 800 customer is billed for the calls rather than the call originators. Except for the Personal 800 Option, the following provisions apply: MCI 800 Service has six pricing Ranges for each terminating area code, with total coverage of the U.S. Mainland, Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands on every line. These Ranges, as determined for each originating and terminating area code, are shown in Section C-12, Table V, Part F.
Company may require that a customer provide calling pattern information necessary for Company to evaluate whether it anticipates network blockage, and Company reserves the right to suspend installation of service until adequate facilities are available to meet such traffic. All domestic and international Option F calls will be subject to an 18-second minimum initial period and additional 6-second increments. If the computed charge includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded to the nearest whole cent. A call begins when call termination is received by or passes through customer premises equipment. It is the customer's responsibility to provide answer supervision back to the Company point of connection even when the MCI 800 Service is connected to switching equipment or a Customer-provided communications system. In such cases, the equipment or system must provide appropriate supervision so that the measure of chargeable time begins upon the delivery of the call to the customer's switching equipment or communications system and ends upon termination of the call.
For the Personal 800 Option none of the pricing or provisions in Section C-3.08 or Section B-18 apply except for those specified in Section C-3.088. This option is provided via the customer's existing telephone line.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, the terms "MCI 800 Service", "888 Service", and/or "Toll Free Service"; and the terms "800 number", "888 number", and/or "Toll Free number", can be used interchangeably when used throughout this tariff.

The following ECR function options are available with all service types, unless otherwise noted. All other MCI 800 Service Features used to establish the ECR functions will be charged as applicable. A call originating at an international location will be billed: (i) the applicable international inbound usage rate to the ECR location for the calls duration; (ii) the applicable ECR routing call charges, and; (iii) the applicable domestic inbound usage rate between the ECR location and the customers service location.
.088161 ECR Menu Routing: This option prompts callers to enter a single touchtone digit in response to voice prompts which are considered part of the menu routing option. The call then proceeds to another ECR function or is extended to a final destination.
.088162 ECR Message Announcement: This option plays prerecorded voice information referring callers to other numbers, explaining service conditions, or other information that a customer desires to provide to callers. The call may either terminate after the Message Announcement, or proceed to another ECR function or extend to a final destination.
.088163 ECR Standard Database Routing: This option prompts callers to enter touchtone digits in response to voice prompts. Using these digits, or using automatic number identification (ANI), the call is then extended to a customer location or to another ECR function as defined in the ECR database. The customer is responsible for providing the database in a specified content.
.088164 ECR Advanced Database Routing: In addition to all standard database routing features, this option provides call routing capabilities based on a defined schedule (day of week, time of day) or distributes calls randomly based on a specified percentage distribution between other ECR functions and/or multiple destinations. In addition, this feature includes the capability for callers to update the content of their ECR database via touchtone interaction. This feature is only available to ECR 1000, ECR 2000 Test and ECR BI customers.
.088165 ECR Busy/No Answer Rerouting (BNAR): This option monitors and reroutes unanswered calls to alternative customer locations or to another ECR function upon detection of busy or no answer conditions.
.088166 Caller Takeback: This option allows the caller to enter a touch-tone command which causes the call to disconnect from the terminating location and reconnect to the ECR call application. The caller can then select other programmed options in response to voice prompts. This feature is only available to ECR 1000, ECR 2000 Test and ECR BI.
.088167 Takeback and Transfer (TNT): This option allows the called party to enter a touch-tone command, which places the caller on hold, and reroutes the call to another destination. As an option, while the caller is on hold, the first called party can speak with the second called party at the new destination before the caller is connected to the second called party. This feature is only available to ECR 1000, ECR 2000 Test and ECR BI.
.088168 Announced Connect: This option allows customized voice announcements or menu prompts to be provided to the terminating location before the caller is connected. This feature is only available to ECR 1000, ECR 2000 Test, and ECR BI.

.088169 Per-Minute Transport Charges: For ECR 1000 and ECR 2000 Test applications originating at domestic locations, the ECR transport rate is charged for the duration of the call, beginning when the ECR system answers the call and ending when the call is disconnected by the caller. The per-minute rate, as specified below, is determined by the line termination types for all dialout termination locations. Standard MCI 800 Service billing increments (18-second minimum and 6-second increment) and applicable MCI 800 Service discounts apply.
For ECR 2000 applications, a rate of $0.2170 per minute, assessed in 3-second increments, is charged for the period beginning when the ECR system answers the call and ending when the call is released to the terminating destination when standard tariffed MCI 800 Service usage charges begin. For ECR BI applications, a rate of $0.0600 per minute, assessed in 6-second increments, is charged for the period beginning when the ECR system answers the call and ending when the call is released to the terminating destination when standard tariffed MCI 800 Service usage charges begin. The MCI 800 Service usage charge is based on the specific termination type of each call termination location, and is distance sensitive and time of day discounted, according to standard MCI 800 Service Dedicated Access Line (DAL) or Common Business Line (CBL) tariffed rates. Distance calculations are assessed based on the mileage bands between the calling party location to the termination location.
Customers who subscribe to Extended Call Coverage may use Extended Call Coverage to originate ECR 1000, ECR 2000, ECR 2000 Test, and ECR BI applications at locations in Canada. The per-minute usage rates set forth in Section C-3.0821, billed in 18-second minimum initial period and additional 6-second increments, will apply per call in addition to the following ECR Transport Rate and ECR Platform Rate charges, if applicable.

.08817 MCI 800 Guardian: MCI 800 Guardian is available only on calls carried on the Company network. MCI 800 Guardian guarantees the customer to arrange an alternative routing arrangement for domestic MCI 800 Service. If an MCI 800 customer is unable to receive MCI 800 service calls for any reason, Company will, at the customer's option, provide one of the following services for the 800 number that has experienced the failure:
1. If the 800 number that is out of service is an 800 Business Line, Company will reroute traffic to another existing business line; or,
2. If the 800 number that is out of service is either an 800 Switched WATS Line or an 800 Dedicated Line, Company will reroute traffic to another existing 800 Business Line, 800 Switched WATS line or 800 Dedicated line; or
3. If the customer does not have another existing 800 termination to accept calls from the affected service, Company will establish a new business line termination and reroute the affected service to this new temporary alternate line. The customer must supply an existing phone number; or
4. Regardless of the type of 800 line that is out of service, Company will reroute to a standardized prerecorded message explaining service conditions and requesting callers to call back later. This feature is designed solely to explain service conditions and provides no media-related or other information or service. Calls will terminate after the message.
In the case of 1, 2, and 3 above, the existing 800 service or temporary alternate line to which the customer's traffic is being rerouted must be established under the same Company customer identification number (Corporate ID).
Company guarantees that, within thirty (30) minutes of the time of confirmation that the chosen option described above is available, it will reroute the customer's traffic as specified above. If this timeframe cannot be met, in addition to providing the customer with its selected option, Company will apply a credit to the customer for the interrupted service in the amount of the appropriate service's monthly service charge for the affected terminating lines.
During the period of interruption, neither non-recurring nor recurring charges will be assessed on the alternate line. However, usage charges will continue to be assessed for all traffic that completes on the temporary alternate line. These usage charges will be based on where the alternate temporary line terminates. Also, tariffed recurring charges will continue to be assessed on the affected service group/number.
Company also guarantees that, within one (1) minute of the time of confirmation that Option 1, 2, or 4 described above is available, it will reroute the customer's traffic as specified above for customers who subscribe to Alternate Routing. If this timeframe cannot be met, in addition to providing the customer with its selected option. Company will apply a credit to the customer for the interrupted service in the amount of the appropriate services monthly service change for the terminating lines.
Company also guarantees that, within five (5) minutes of the time of confirmation that Option 1, 2 or 4 described above is available for up to 250 MCI 800 numbers, it will reroute the customer's traffic as specified above for customers who subscribe to Sets Routing. If this timeframe cannot be met, in addition to providing the customer with its selected option, Company will apply a credit to the customer for the interrupted service in the amount of the appropriate service's monthly service charge for the affected terminating lines. For each customer, all of its MCI 800 numbers using Sets Routing must be established under the same customer identification number (Corporate ID).
During the period of interruption, neither non-recurring nor recurring charges will be assessed on the alternate line. However, usage charges will continue to be assessed, with the exception of Cross Corporate Routed Calls, for all traffic that completes on the temporary alternate line. These usage charges will be based on where the alternate temporary line terminates. Also, tariffed recurring charges will continue to be assessed on the affected service group/number.
This MCI 800 guarantee does not apply to MCI 800 with international termination (MCI 800 calls originating in the US and terminating outside the US) or the Personal 800 feature. A description of MCI 800 Guardian for Option R (MCI Preferred) Traditional 800 is found in Section C-3.192332. The guarantee does not apply if the interruption is not reported to Company, nor does it apply during network busy conditions or any failures of performance beyond the control of Company (See Section B-4.02). Companys liability with respect to this guarantee is limited to rerouting MCI 800 Service exclusively, and does not include 800 services offered by other carriers in a multi-carrier configuration.

All locations at which MCI 800 Service calls are terminated under this feature must have associated with them an MCI 800 Service Corporate ID. Company will deliver the invoice for traffic routed in this way to the billing address of the MCI 800 Service Corporate ID of the location at which calls are terminated, or to the customer-of-record of the MCI 800 Service, whichever is specified by the customer. The non-billed party will be furnished with a call report summary showing all calls directed to terminating locations via this feature. Unless otherwise specified, the customer-of-record will be responsible to Company for payment of invoices for all calls terminated to those locations. In the event the customer of record designates the terminating location as the responsible party, the Corp ID assigned to the terminating location will be responsible to Company for payment of invoices for all calls terminating to that location. The 800 number customer-of-record may request optional monthly billing reports and/or optional monthly magnetic tapes. A monthly recurring charge, as specified below, will be billed to the 800 number customer-of-record for optional additional reports. All domestic and international usage charges will apply as specified in Sections C-3.082 and C-3.073, respectively. Charges generated as a result of cross-corporate ID routed calls will be accumulated with charges to the MCI 800 Service Corporate ID of the billed party for the purpose of determining compliance with any minimum volume requirements and volume-related discounts. The MCI 800 Service customer-of-record requesting cross-corporate ID routing will be responsible for any costs incurred by Company, including but not limited to, access and/or egress charges and any amounts Company may be required to pay third parties, as a result of any errors in the customer's orders directing the cross-corporate ID routing. All 800 features, with the exception of Direct Termination Overflow, can be used with Cross-Corporate ID routing.

Customers may request the reservation, assignment or activation of toll-free numbers on their own behalf, or a Customer which resells toll-free services may make such requests on behalf of its customers. A Customer who resells toll-free services must provide to any of its customers or prospective customers, upon reasonable request, information concerning the status of a particular toll-free number(s) in which the customer or prospective customer has an interest and, if applicable, the identity of the Resp Org(s) for the toll-free number(s). When a resale Customer decides (or learns of its customers decision) not to utilize the reserved, assigned or activated toll-free number, the Customer must notify the Company within forty-eight hours so that the Company can release the toll-free number into the pool of numbers available for assignment in accordance with industry standards and practices.

.08134 A Customer of toll-free service is responsible for payment for all calls placed to or via the Customers service number(s). This responsibility is not changed by virtue of any use, misuse, or abuse of the Customers service or interconnected Customer-provided system facilities or service, which use, misuse or abuse may be occasioned by third parties including, without limitation, the Customers employees and members of the public who dial the Customers toll-free service number(s) either by mistake or with the intent to abuse service.
.08135 The Companys liability for any failure on its part in connection with any matter pertaining to information content relating to service (excluding claims arising out of Company undertakings as a Resp Org) will be limited to the lesser of: (a) the actual monetary damages incurred and proved by the Customer as the direct result of the Companys acts or omissions, or (b) $100.

Contemporaneously with service termination, the Company will notify the Customer by certified mail of the action it has taken and the reasons therefor.
.081372 Notwithstanding its role as a Resp Org, and absent a showing by the Customer that it has not violated requirements pertaining to toll-free service, the Company will retain control for four (4) months of all toll-free numbers associated with terminated service.
