Comment:
WCCTA currently provides service to 4,700 subscribers from 16 communities. WCCTA provides an excellent telephone service at a cost which is much lower than most other telephone providers.

As an owner of a cooperative company (when installing service 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.
