"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

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!"

"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."
