PTCI



The story of Panhandle Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (PTCI) began in 1954, when roughly 35 people gathered in Beaver County to bring modern telephone service to their neighbors. Today, we proudly serve residential and business customers across the Oklahoma Panhandle and a portion of the Texas Panhandle. We now have locations in Guymon, Boise City, Beaver, Laverne, Spearman, Perryton, Canadian, and Gruver. We’ve also evolved from shared party lines to high-speed fiber-optic internet, comprehensive home and business services, and cellular services.

We take our role as a registered Smart Rural Community provider through the NTCA Rural Broadband Association seriously because we understand that reliable internet is a critical utility for economic growth. In fact, PTCI is Oklahoma's first Gig Certified internet service provider. Through ongoing, cooperative efforts, we continue to bring high-speed fiber-optic connections to farms, ranches, and remote locations. This infrastructure supports the businesses and individuals who keep our region thriving. It allows the Main Street boutique to process seamless point-of-sale transactions and online orders. It empowers the agricultural sector to adopt precision farming and remote livestock monitoring. It also ensures that local healthcare clinics can offer dependable telehealth services and that our schools can prepare students for a modern workforce. From local retail to large-scale agriculture, rural broadband supports every industry in our area.

As a cooperative, our business model is deeply rooted in the communities we serve. This means we focus on our members, not distant corporate shareholders. One of the most direct ways you see this difference is through our cooperative capital credits. Unlike traditional companies that send profits to outside investors, we return those margins directly to members like you. When you choose PTCI, your investment stays right here in Guymon and in our communities throughout the Panhandles. Those local dollars go back into your pockets, fund regional jobs, support youth scholarships, and keep vital community initiatives moving forward.

Our workforce of over 150 employees consists of your friends and neighbors. PTCI is dedicated to the success of our fellow businesses, and we look forward to providing the connectivity that helps our region grow for decades to come.
