OK2SAY Statistics

An OK2SAY “tip” is information provided through communication with OK2SAY technicians.
Generally, when a tip is submitted, it may involve multiple communications between the individual and the technician in order to gather enough information to forward to the appropriate responding party. These communications are counted as a single tip.
