            I was amazed at how quickly our new toll free number was set up. The process was almost shockingly easy. I was a little confused about how things worked until receiving the welcome information packets. You may want to let folks know those instructions are going to be sent in case they are unaware like I was.

            Thanks,
            Steve

We were able to register a phone number that's easy to remember and goes perfectly with our logo. 1-888-8-SUN KEY (1-888-878-6539).
