Liberty Communications provides us with excellent service and has very friendly and helpful staff. The Flexfone system is awesome, we are able to work from anywhere and still answer office phones just like we were sitting at our desk. Having the flexibility to be on the road and still be able to help our clients when they call helps us provide excellent service and keep our clients happy. Would highly recommend giving Liberty Communications/Flexfone a call for your business needs.

Daniel Whitaker at Liberty Communications help me for months to get a refund from Comcast. Comcast had over charged our company more than $7,000 and they said that they couldn't refund us the money. Daniel's persistence with numerous individuals at Comcast finally got them to concede that they owed us the money and they would send us a check. Thank you Daniel and Liberty Communications for watching my back and fighting the fight.
