    If there's one company out there that I would NOT recommend - it's Dial-A-Phone! I've used them twice and both times I was very dissatisfied. Veeeeery long waiting times to get through and speak to someone and both times for one reason or another, I was left without a phone for at least 2 weeks. I truly believe it's the worst blue-chip company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
