you automatically become a member), members are entitled to
certain benefits that are not available to customers of big
name telephone companies. A couple benefits include:
- Elect each representative on the Board of Directors.
Their job is to oversee the operation of your cooperative
and protect your investment.
- Once the operating costs and reinvestments in your co-op
have been met, the Board of Directors refunds the remaining
money to the members in the form of “Capital Credits”.
The amount refunded varies from year to year.
WCCTA can provide many services such as Voice Messaging,
Internet Access, Verizon Wireless, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding,
Caller ID and many others. Inquire for details.
