About this category
There are a number of smaller more competitive phone companies. They all try to look big, and the line between Small, Regional and Large may be a little subjective, but small isn't bad. You'll see bios of the executives and partners listed in the About Us section. They also tend to be more versitale and faster at pivoting to new things than big companies.
