7-13-08.. A.F.F.S. has changed our National Office Phone Number to 732-664-8104 Why you may ask have you changed the Office Number??? It's an effort to reduce our communications costs by utilizing the power of the internet in our many telephone conversations... A new technology in a small device that hooks directly to any computer is allowing us to make and receive phone calls either over the office land line or the computer for an unlimited amount of usage in the U.S. or Canada for only $20 a YEAR.. Our overseas calls do cost a fee but the savings this represents is huge.. Sound to good to be true? I thought so to but I have been pleasantly surprised with our test results so far.. If you want more information on this device for your own use than visit www.magicjack.com and check it out.. Any way, please change your listing for us to 732-664-8104 for the phone or fax.. Our cell number remains the same @ 732-267-0058.. Thank you.. Mike Corblies, Director A.F.F.S. 7-7-08..
