Give 1 sentence on your business type, the size of your company, number of locations, number of users and area. Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are a mortgage company with a single location in South Bend, Indiana with around 50 users.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I used to work at a manufacturing company with around 1,000 employees, disbursed between 20 locations in the major US football cities.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">2. Give 1 sentence on the service type\/service name, quantity and the length of time with your experience. Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had 20 POTS lines from Efficient Telecom for over 3 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;About a year ago, we completed a 1 year trial, using 3 of Big Cloud&#8217;s &#8220;eServer&#8221; cloud VM&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">3. Write 1 sentence on why you originally chose to use purchase from them. Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We switched our service to them to save money from our previous service provider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I inherited this provider and I&#8217;m not sure why they were originally chosen as a good fit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">4. Write 1-2 sentences on the specific things you liked, disliked or were indifferent about the service and why that is a big deal. Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The installation went smooth, the service has had zero downtime in 3 years, the bill was exactly what the rep has estimated and I love how I can change the &#8220;point-to&#8221; number for our toll free numbers, in real-time, via their web portal. With our previous telecom provider, I had to call and request toll free changes and it took them 2 weeks to complete the change, which really drove my boss up the wall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love that their customer service is US-based and that the first person who answers the phone is technical because it makes for quick calls and quick fixes. I also really like the feature that allows me to create custom templates for adding new users, that I can pre-arrange with different features for different users types. That saves me a TON of time!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They somehow &#8220;lost&#8221; our entire block of 200 DID&#8217;s 3 times during a 3 year period, without explanation. When it happened, it took all our phone service down for at least 24 hours and we lost a countless amount of incoming sales calls. No credit were offered my boss almost fired me for choosing to switch to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had 2 minor outages in a period of 1 year, which I think is pretty typical of any service provider. Each outage was only 30 minutes or so and the customer service was also pretty average. I had to wait on hold for 5-10 minutes to speak with a non-technical, front-line person, then wait 15 minutes for an engineer to call me back and start troubleshooting. No credits were ever given.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5. Write 1 short sentence on the action you took or will be taking as a result of their service. Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will definitely be renewing the service when the contract comes up in the next 6 months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will definitely be switching service providers when our contract expires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our company switched providers when our contract came up for renewal and we are much happier now with a great provider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Here are some examples of really awesome reviews posted to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">AeroComInc.com<\/a>:<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/company-profile\/voxox\" target=\"_blank\">VoxOx<\/a><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nVoxox Hosted VOIP &#8211; 10 Users. I have trusted Voxox for many years and recommended it for service at a globally dispersed distributor in the music industry. The Voxox support team took control and responsibility of the account, communicated well, explained options, and acted expeditiously. Together we accomplished everything in<br \/>\na few days. Now, I can say I&#8217;m satisfied with the results.<br \/>\n-Cfgbowen<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/company-profile\/simplesignal\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">SimpleSignal<\/span> <\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nWe have less than 10 users but have been using SimpleSignal&#8217;s hosted VoIP service for over 3 years and are happy with functionality, call quality, reliability and support. I like that they bring in a dedicated T1 circuit to guarantee call quality and I also like the features they offer, such as salesforce integration, mobile integration, Outlook integration, video calling and video conferencing. The only downsides I&#8217;ve experienced is that they do not have a user-friendly way generating call reports. Currently, we have to go into our billing platform and perform several complicated steps to pull a call report, which is a big pain.<br \/>\n-Mike Smith<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aerocominc.com\/company-profile\/verizon-wireless\" target=\"_blank\">Verizon Wireless<\/a><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nOur business has been utilizing Verizon for employee phones since 2009 when we switched over from Sprint. What a huge difference in quality and coverage. Customer service over the phone is helpful and knowledgeable; however it is sometimes a process when waiting at the store. Cons: If your device is defective or has an issue, they will replace it with a refurb, unless it happens three times. I&#8217;m not sure if this was our account setup or the normal process. Overall &#8211; Great choice in provider!<br \/>\n-Thajer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there are your 5 quick steps to writing a knock-you-socks-off &#8220;Insightful&#8221; review.
