Rural Telephone Company

Rural Telephone Company—a communications service provider—has been locally owned and operated since 1979. In addition to offering local telephone service, they also provide a full range of internet and wireless services including cell phones and cable television.

Rural Telephone serves remote areas of Idaho, Nevada, Washington and Oregon. The territory includes some of the most spectacular natural beauty in the entire United States. However, beneath its beauty is a rugged and often dangerous land of treacherous mountains, deep canyons, sun-scorched deserts and seemingly impenetrable forests. Winter snow drifts, spring mud slides and summer lightning strikes add to the challenge of providing telephone service to thousands of square miles of wilderness. For more than 2,300 Idaho subscribers, Rural Telephone Company is their primary link to the outside world.
