Install Everything At Once

If you have residence service and are planning a move, have all phone installations done at one time.  Extra visits by an installer mean extra charges.  So plan all of your installations or phone changes in advance and you'll save money. Remember to take your phone books with you when you move.  It'll save you lots of time when you want to call back to friends or business associates you left behind.
