South Central encourages our rural customers to consider the security of having a landline, even if you make most of your long distance calls from your cell phone. In the rural communities of Southern Utah, cell service is often marginal, and even if you can make an emergency call, that call might be routed to the wrong dispatch center based on what tower handles the call. Landline telephones are dependable since South Central has backup power in our facilities. So even in the event of a widespread power outage, the landline telephone system will function, if you have a telephone that is capable of operating without commercial power. Besides the dependability of the service, we remind you that, as a member of the coop, you are a part owner in the company. Your use of the services we provide contributes to the local economy and adds to the stability of the rural lifestyle. Click here for more information on the advantages of a landline.
