Cumby Telephone Cooperative, Inc.
is a living example of democracy in action. Co-op members wholly
own the telephone company.
Cumby Telephone Cooperative, Inc. was founded in 1967. The
Bell telephone system (AT&T prior to 1984) chose not to serve our area
because it wasn't profitable to run lines out from the nearest city. So
people in our area joined together, developed, financed, and built Cumby
Telephone Cooperative, Inc. As a co-op member you are a part of a
decades long tradition.
Our up to date technology allows us to provide our members
service equal to, or surpassing, larger phone companies.
Co-op members realize many benefits. As a cooperative
any profit we make throughout the year is allocated to our members in the
form of patronage capital. Patronage
capital is returned to members based on the number of long distance minutes
the member has used.
Cumby Telephone Cooperative is a vital part of the community. Our
commitment to members goes far beyond the bottom-line. We are partners
with the community we serve. One of the ways we support the community
is by offering scholarship programs for local students.
Cumby Telephone Cooperative is only as good as our members. We
welcome you to become an active co-op member. We welcome your feedback
and participation. Be sure to attend annual meetings and let us know
how we're doing. We welcome your suggestions so that we may serve our
community better.
It's your company. Lets make it the best it can be!
