Tom Klein - Co-Founder PhoneDog.com
 Since phonedog.com was established in June of 2001, co- founders Tom Klein and Andre Refay have developed the site with a realistic philosophy in mind: to provide the consumer with un-biased reviews and information needed to make smart decisions when choosing phone products and services.
Real world life lessons by both PhoneDog co-founders contributed to the creation of the telecom comparison system. Tom Klein’s door-to-door sales of phone, cable, and internet services for a small regional communications company in Charleston, South Carolina provided him direct insight to what consumers are looking for. Andre Refay was working as an IT project leader for a web development company in Sarasota, Florida. Utilizing the knowledge they obtained from both positions, Tom and Andre created phonedog.com, which initially compared long distance services. In the past three years, phonedog.com has expanded its comparison’s to cover the entire telecom industry.
"Our philosophy of being an unbiased consumer resource for telecom services has been a rewarding and satisfying journey. We come to work everyday to continually grow and improve so that our visitors can effectively find and understand the information they are looking for with minimal effort".

The video highlights the importance of recycling old cell phones (not to mention other electronics and anything else suitable for recycling).

Last month I had the opportunity to talk with consumers on Bob McCormick's Money 101 radio talk show on KNX1070 in California. We got the chance to chat with callers about various problems and tips on how to choose the right cell phone and plan.

The 4th quarter of 2005 was a busy time for Pioneer Telephone's President, Peter Bouchard. In October, Pioneer acquired the long distance customer base from Adelphia's long distance division. Adelphia filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and its customers from various divisions needed new service providers which were awarded to various companies.
