Business After Hours
We provide a free emergency business after hours calling service. This service is only free to customers paying for business or corporate plans*. Selecting this option on our phone service will direct you to an on call technician.
IF YOU ARE NOT A BUSINESS PLAN CUSTOMER AND CONTINUE WITH THIS OPTION YOU WILL BE CHARGED $99.
For avoidance of any doubt, the emergency after hours calling service is not free to ‘businesses’ who pay for a residential plan.
Before you call us…
There are some things you can try for yourself first… like restart your connection, check your account, and check our network status.
Restart your connection, this can resolve 99% of issues
You’ll need to reboot all the Primo gear, depending on your connection type this includes the radio on your roof, router, modem and VoIP units. (Note that simply turning it off at the wall won’t work properly).
Unplug the power cord from the back of the router/modem and leave out for 15-20 seconds before plugging it back in again. It will take a few minutes to restart itself.
Rural Wireless
Find the cable that comes out of the wall or floor from the radio on the roof. This plugs into a small power box (black or white, see photos below). At one end there is a power cord and at the other end two ports, one named POE the other LAN.
Take out both the power cord and the POE cable from the power box, wait until the power light goes out fully (this is the white or green line on the top) and then plug the power and POE cables back in. If you have more than one power box do it for all of them.
Don’t forget your router (and VoIP unit if you have one) take out the power cord for 20-30 seconds before plugging back in.
That’s it – easy! Give it a few minutes to work its magic and retry your connection.
