Saw this in another mailing list. Thought it would be a good idea to
pass the info along...

MCI Launches Toll-Free Locator Service to Reunite People
Displaced by Hurricane Katrina
MCI has introduced a simple, toll-free phone service to
help people impacted by Hurricane Katrina communicate their conditions
and whereabouts to family and friends by simply using their 10-digit
home phone number as an identifier. The service also allows displaced
people and those attempting to locate the missing to connect through a
toll-free phone number. Callers can choose to either:
* Register themselves by calling (877) HELP-KAT or
(877) 435-7528
* Locate someone who is missing by calling (866)
601-FIND or (866) 601-3463.
To Register
* People impacted and/or displaced will be
prompted for their home phone number; month, day, and year of birth (for
individual identification); and a callback number where they can be
reached. The service will notify the caller if he or she is the first to
register the number or if someone else has already done so. If others
have registered the number, the earlier registrant's month, day, and
year of birth as well as callback number will be replayed, giving the
caller the option to connect automatically to that person.
* Registrants will also be told if someone has
previously searched for their number and will give them that caller's
birth month, day, and year in addition to callback information with an
option to connect.
* Even if displaced people currently do not have a
callback number, they should still call and register so family members
and friends will know they are alive. Registration information can be
updated later with callback numbers when they become available.
* For any 10-digit primary home phone number, up
to nine callback numbers and birth month, day, and year can be
registered to accommodate alternate contact numbers and multiple family
members.
To Locate Someone
* Caller will be prompted for home phone number of
person he or she is trying to locate.
* The callback number and birth month, day, and
year of the displaced person will be played back.
* The caller can connect automatically to the
displaced person's callback number.
* The service will also notify the caller if the
number searched has not yet been registered, and it will allow the
caller to enter his or her birth month, day, and year and callback
number to be replayed when and if the missing person's phone number is
registered.
This service is available to everyone, not just MCI
customers, and supports English, French, and Spanish. The service is
limited to U.S. geographic users only.
