The most horrific costumer service. Our salon had three fail attempts for devices to accommodate our needs. They placed the blame on us and then charged a fee for the contract. We had IT and phone companies to come to the salon to attempt to solve the issues but they were unable to do so. I would never recommend this company for any business use.

ACC publishes rates and it also offers services for "specialty" needs like the ability to accept health care cards.
