.24 Option W (MCI MASTERS)
MCI MASTERS is a one-way dial in-dial out multipoint service. Customers may originate calls from any telephone in the U.S. Mainland, Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All Option W calls are rounded to the next higher full minute. If the computed charge includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded to the nearest whole cent for all domestic Option W calls and the fraction is rounded down to the next whole cent for all international Option W calls. MCI MASTERS is available to students, faculty, and administrators of educational institutions, to students, faculty, and administrators involved in a business relationship with other entities, and to employees of government agencies, provided that said institutions, entities and agencies have agreed to act as the Companys agent in connection with the provision of service.
Option W customers can place on‑site or off-site calls. On-site calling, which requires no special access dialing sequences, originates from telecommunications equipment enrolled in MCI MASTERS which is located within the campus of a participating educational institution or agency location or is routed through the participating educational institution's or agency location's switching equipment. Off-site calling requires the caller to access the service by dialing an Company-provided toll free number. Off-site calls can originate from telecommunications equipment located anywhere within the U.S. Mainland, Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In addition to other service-related charges under this option, FUSF, CAC, Administrative Expense Fee and CCRC apply.
