PeoplesTelephone

At Peoples Telephone, we never forget the fact that we are something more than a company. We are a cooperative. We operate on a non-pro Ƥ t basis, so we share our success with the people who support us. That makes you something more than a customer. You are a member of our cooperative - an investor in our success. You are, in fact, one of our co-owners. As such, you share in a rich heritage of independent service. That heritage dates back over 61 years. In 1949, the U.S. Congress created the Rural Electri Ƥ cation Administration, which authorized low-cost loans to assist in the formation of rural telephone systems like ours. In 1952, Peoples Telephone was founded by a group of East Texas residents with a clear mission: to provide reliable telecommunications in a region that was not being served by pro Ƥ t-oriented telephone companies. Over the years, we have worked diligently to ful Ƥ ll our mission. We have introduced state-of-the-art technology, ranging from features like Caller ID to services like Internet access. Above all, we have maintained our independent identity. With your ongoing support, we can equal - and even surpass - the larger telephone companies. We are proud to provide our community with quality service and advanced technology. As a cooperative member, you deserve to share our pride. Working together, we will continue to play a major role in East Texas.
