ATS Communications has been our telephone service provider for over 15 years, and I've come to trust them to provide excellent service and technical recommendations.

A tech called us back and told us to push a button to solve the problem. It did. I received a bill for $150 for a one minute call. I was shocked. I asked the company if there was a mistake but they said that was their standard rate for any call. I informed them that we were not told of this rate when we called.

Adam Darville just called my office for my boss who is not available. I felt like I had to pry a detailed message from him. He was only calling to give an updated message about what is going on with our phone system. He acted like a sales person. But then again, maybe he is a sales person, but didn't pitch it to me. Whatever the case may be, I didn't like the way he communicated with me.
