"I met Roger Sosa in the summer of 2008 when he was representing the telecommunications company, Call One and I represented the Park District concerning its landline telephone services. Roger assisted the Dundee Township Park District in their transition of landline telephone services from AT&T to Call One.During the time that Roger represented Call One I found him to be very pleasant and informative. He was responsive to the District’s needs and always worked in an effective manner. The few problems that did occur with the transition were handled immediately and resolved in a short period of time. Roger was always very helpful.The District’s migration from AT&T was not taken lightly by the District and Roger’s assistance helped us realize that we had made a positive decision." Park District Executive Director"Roger Sosa was a representative for Call One that I had the pleasure of working with. He assisted the Oakbrook Terrace Park District in saving thousands of dollars per year in telecommunications expenses through his analysis of our existing phone lines, circuits and usage trends. Roger was always extremely professional and made recommendations that best fit our operations and budget here at the District. When contacting Roger by email or phone, he always demonstrated excellent response time and was very helpful in finding us answers to our questions. In terms of Roger’s professional demeanor, I can’t say enough about his presentation of the products and services for the company he represented.
