S
ome phone providers refuse to connect
calls to customers served by small rural
carriers, hurting businesses and consumers.
Providers in the telecommunications industry
including Wheat State Telephone have
contacted key senators urging them to
petition the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to take action. Call
completion problems are a nationwide
epidemic dramatically impacting house-
holds, businesses, and public safety. The
inability of people in rural areas to receive
phone calls greatly weakens the reliability
of the telephone network and threatens the
safety and well being of rural Americans.
In a bipartisan letter to FCC Chairman
Julius Genachowski, three dozen senators
called on the FCC to take swift action to
restore quality service in rural areas to resolve
call completion problems and work to
preserve the basic integrity of the nation’s
communications network.
“Call completion problems have serious
economic consequences throughout rural
America,” said the letter. “During this dif-
ficult economic period, small businesses
cannot afford to lose business opportunities
because of dropped calls and poor service
quality. These problems have continued for
far too long and it is only a matter of time
before this situation leads to tragedy when a
rural customer is unable to receive an urgent
call. Small business owners and people living
in rural areas are rightfully frustrated and
deserve a resolution to these problems.”
Many rural areas suffer from inadequate and
unreliable phone service and an increasing
number of consumers experience calls that
fail to complete, are delayed, have poor voice
quality, lack Caller ID information, or are
never connected because some originating
providers refuse to connect calls to cus-
tomers served by small rural carriers. This
continues to plague our customers as well.
Should you experience any of these issues,
reference the call and contact our office at
800-442-6835.
