Client, Pocket Communications, doesn't outsource customer care. They staff their support teams with real Pocket employees who work and live in local communities all over South Texas. Here's a video I recently shot of a Pocket team member who is purely and simply passionate about his role in helping customers. Joshua, you rock!
