"Socket helps us to be sure our technology evolves to fit our business. They've got our best interests in mind--and, in turn, the best interests of our patients and clients."
Tad Reissing
Information Technology Manager
"Before Socket, we paid six different phone bills and wasted time dealing with three separate phone companies. Socket took a hold of our voice, data and Internet services for each of our office locations. Socket not only saved us money, they gave us back control."
Jay Hall
Manager of Information Services
Wade Green
Information Technology Manager
"Socket offered exactly what we needed, not necessarily what's easiest for them. With better bandwidth and service, switching to Socket's network was an easy decision."
Mary Willingham
Information Technology Director
"Socket is always providing a cost savings. They are an integral part of our communications. And it's good to do business with a local company that gives back to the community."
Mary Lou Hammann
Administrative Services Director
"Service has always been terrific! We have been able to add and change service when we needed to quickly."
Sheila Searfoss, MS, LPC
President and Executive Director
Envy"I don't like calling an 800#. It's easier to call another Aaron at Socket who knows my business."
Mark Mercurio
Owner
Shakespeare's Pizza"We found we could save some moolah by switching to Socket. We're just pizza guys, so we promptly forgot the percentages and amounts, but it adds up to lots of beer and thick cut pepperoni. When we pull that tap handle, we'll be thinking of Socket."
Kurt Mirtsching
Head Cheese
Gerding, Korte, Chitwood, CPA"The switch to Socket for all of our services - local phone + Internet + Long Distance - went extremely well. Josh and his team did a terrific job in making sure the transition was smooth with no interruption in our service. It also makes us feel good to support a locally owned business so that our money stays right here in Columbia."
Bob Gerding
Partner
Bucket Media, Inc."Josh gave us a simple quote to bundle our local phone, Internet and long-distance service. The transition was very, very easy too. We didn't have to do a thing. They even picked up the tab for the work done by our phone system vendor."
Jocelyn Tipton
Vice President
"These days, every penny helps. I've used Socket for the last five years and now switched my phone service too. I'm saving a lot each month. Plus, the move to our new location was flawless - I never missed a call. Thanks Socket."
Tim Brown
Owner
Makes Scents"I switched my business's local phone lines, long-distance service and high-speed Internet to Socket. Now, I just call Chris for all three services and pay one simple bill. You could say switching to Socket simply 'makes scents'."
Christina Kelley
Owner
Salon Nefisa"We love to tell the world how much we like moving to Socket! If I have a problem or question, someone (usually the fabulous Aaron) has a solution or suggestion. Dealing with a local company and having a real person answer the phone is almost worth more than the savings!"
Pam Pochel
Salon Coordinator
BLEU Restaurant and Wine Bar
"It's always a hectic time opening a new business...but Socket made the phone and Internet hook ups easy. They listened to our needs and gave us a seamless transition of service which was one less thing to worry about. Plus, now if we ever have a problem, I have someone here right away with a quick response, which is always very helpful."
Travis Tucker
Manager
"Socket came in, audited my phone bill, showed me how much I could save with Socket and even pointed out a bogus charge. I have one word for that other company: Goodbye. From one local business to another: Thank you, Socket."
David Rowe
Owner
Law Offices of Edwin W. Orr
"Aaron did a good job identifying and promising the cost saving which was one of the two reasons for my change. The other reason was the local telephone company had not provided a satisfactory level of customer service, follow-up or attentiveness. Your company does a better job and cares about its customers. When we have questions or problems, everyone at Socket works hard and fast to solve them."
Ed Orr
Owner
Witt Print Shop
"We were with {BLEEP} because there wasn't a choice. We had to deal with their slow response times, which at times was 48+ hours when we had phone problems (and we were a 'priority' customer!). We also had to pay premium pricing for less than satisfactory service. I was SO UPSET as a small business owner.All I wanted was to talk to someone locally and to feel like someone would be able to fix the problems. Then we found out Socket was offering phone service. What did we have to lose? As it turned out, we worked through a few small problems, but had technicians on the problems IMMEDIATELY and CONTINUOUSLY until the problems were solved and we even saved a ton of money on our monthly bills... GREAT BUSINESS DECISION. Now, I write one check to cover my local phone service AND long-distance AND my Internet for a LOT LESS MONEY! Now...no more phone worries!"
Brian Kirmse
Owner
"We can always reach a live person who understands the needs of another local business owner. With Socket providing our voice, data, and long distance, we can focus more of our time and attention on our customers."
Triston Brownfield

"We've been very pleased with our switch to Socket. The phone service works better and it saved us 20% by bundling local phone and Internet.It saves me time, too. No more waiting 20 minutes (minimum!) on hold. Now, I have one local number to call to quickly talk to a real person who knows me. Plus, my bill is simple - no more mystery charges or fees."
Jennifer Graves
Fiscal Manager

Tami R. Benus
