"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."

"We love to tell the world how much we like moving to Socket! :)

The most important part for me has been the customer service. If I have a problem or question, someone (usually the fabulous Aaron) gets back to me and has a solution or suggestion.

Of course, the savings are great and that was the main reason we moved, but dealing with a local company and having a real person answer the phone is almost worth more than the savings!"

Royce "Rocky" Hazlewood, Managing Partner
Tin Can Tavern and Grille
Opened a new location without set up fees.

"Once the Socket guys came out to fix a problem...BEFORE I even noticed one."

"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."

"I don't like calling an 800#. It's easier to call another Aaron at Socket who knows my business."

Brian Kimse, Owner
Witt Print Shop
24% Saved with Socket

"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.

When I needed to talk with someone about the phone problems, I spoke with individuals who were out of state - AFTER I was on hold forever!

All I wanted was to talk to someone locally and to feel like someone would be able to fix the problems.

At one time, we seriously thought about switching to cellular service just to get away from {BLEEP}.

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!"

Bob Gerding, Partner

$28/mo Saved with Socket

"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. Plus, he saved us $28 per month. As CPA's we appreciate that!

It also makes us feel good to support a locally owned business so that our money stays right here in Columbia."

Jennifer Graves, Fiscal Manager
The Shelter/Comprehensive Human Services
20% Saved with Socket

"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."

Christina Kelley, Owner
Makes Scents
Spending her hard earned dollars locally means a lot to Christina.

"I switched my business' 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'."

Richard Walls, Owner

"We have had a smooth transition to Socket business phone service and even saved money.

Everyone is easy to work with and the techs took care of everything - all we did was sign the papers and save money."

Travis Tucker, Manager
BLEU Restaurant and Wine Bar
Kept their Bleu Market phone number when the main restaurant and wine bar location opened.

"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."

Jocelyn Tipton, Vice President
Bucket Media, Inc.
20% Savings with Socket

"Josh gave us a simple quote to bundle our local phone, Internet and long-distance service.

A 20% savings on a monthly bill meant a lot to us - and made the decision to switch to a local company even easier.

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.

Now, it's so easy to get help when we need it - even if it's a small question, the local techs work hard to give me an answer."

Would you like to save money, have a better experience, and do business with another local company?

A company big enough to give you everything you need but small enough to appreciate quick, cost-effective personal service.

Call us. Let's talk. 777-9900. Don't be surprised if a real, live human being person answers. And listens.
