Socket Telephone Services Expands to Sedalia, MO

SOCKET OFFERS LOCAL AND LONG-DISTANCE TELEPHONE SERVICES IN SEDALIA

SEDALIA, Mo- Socket Telecom, a new Missouri telephone service provider under the parent company Socket Holdings Corp., recently announced it is offering local and long-distance telephone service to Sedalia businesses. Combined with the partner company, Socket Internet, this announcement means business owners can choose to get both telephone service and Internet service from one local company, and marks a significant change to the Sedalia, Mo business climate.

Central Bank of Missouri, a local bank in Sedalia, looked to Socket to solve its communication needs for their expansion into Columbia. "Another business owner recommended Socket to us, so we decided to take a look at their local communication services," said Jillian Cantwell, Vice-President of Central Bank of Missouri. "Other companies were only able to serve us in one location and had limited service offerings. We decided to go with Socket because they could provide us with a complete communications package combining telephone, Internet and networking for both of our bank sites."

Cantwell also said she likes working with Socket's local people. "Socket's technicians were always available. They never dropped the ball and were very patient, hard working and helpful," said Cantwell. "It is great to get away from jumping through hoops and waiting for hours for an unknown person at a national headquarters when we had a problem. Socket provides a real community feel to their communication services."

"Businesses with multiple telephone lines and bandwidth intensive applications are learning they can choose to work with a different telephone company for their telecommunication needs," said Carson Coffman, one of the company's three owners and Vice-President of Sales and Marketing.

Customers choosing to use Socket can keep their telephone numbers and directory listings, and will have personal access to customer service representatives, engineers and company owners during the conversion process. Socket Telecom's local telephone service packages can be customized to include any of the most popular features such as Direct Inward Dial, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voice Mail, Call Accounting, Remote Access and Call Forwarding.

Socket Telecom also offers business telephone service to other mid-Missouri business communities, including Jefferson City, Columbia, Mexico, Lake Ozarks, Camdenton, Kirksville, Moberly and Fulton.
