Who We Are
We are your local phone company, owned and operated by friends and neighbors.
Moving into a new area can be an exciting experience. It can also take some getting used to. If you never lived in an area serviced by a local telephone cooperative, you may be interested in learning just what a cooperative is. A Cooperative is a non-profit service organization owned and operated by its members… the people it serves. As a cooperative, our mission is to provide our members with the very highest quality, most advanced, telecommunications features and services available. And to do so in a friendly and person manner.

The Beginning of the Cooperative Movement
Cooperatives date back to nineteenth century England and grew out of the social unrest brought on by the Industrial Revolution. Struggling tradesmen banded together for the mutual benefit of one another. From these loosely knit groups sprang what has come to be known as the "Roshdale Principles". Today's successful cooperatives are still based on these principles.
