It appears that the phones are working again.
Here are a couple of tricks to reach us better:
- if you call ext. 105 during regular office hours and no one answers, try calling back on ext. 113, that extension rings in our warehouse.
- Please note though that we can not check the voicemail on ext 113 though, so please do not leave voicemails on that line.
