If that is the same telephone number posted last year -- if you did not
get the number from your very own P-H representative, that is if you do
not fall into their clasification of preferred customers whatever that is
(a school system, university, or perhaps book store?) they will not even
give you time of day (and the telephone number I got was not even a working
number when I called it 30 minutes later!).

Mail seems to be all that works for us commoners, and it not very well.

BTW, if this sounds like a flame aimed at P-H, IT IS and a better company
to go bankrupt I'll never see!
