Telephone service standard
Cell phone/VoIP users
If you contact us using a cell phone or a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) such as Skype and your service provider is located in a different time zone than the one you are calling from, you may hear a message saying that our offices are closed. This is because our telephone system identifies your call as coming from the time zone of your service provider.
Our goal is to respond to your call within 2 minutes.
It may be hard to reach us during peak periods. If you get a busy signal, please hang up and try again later.
