Nevada Bell

Nevada Bell (earlier the Bell Telephone Company of Nevada) was a telephone service provider from Nevada. The network did business with only 30% of this state outside of Las Vegas (where the Lumen Technologies network performs telephone and other service). 

The Nevada Bell history began in 1906 under Sunset Telephone and Telegraph and Pacific Telephone and Telegraph. The Bell Telephone Company of Nevada came into existence in 1913.

The later years and mergers
The name was simplified to Nevada Bell at the start of 1984 just after the Bell System breakups. The company became a subsidiary of Pacific Bell (or Pac Bell). The two companies became part of the Pacific Telesis Group System. Pacific Telesis, however, was phased out in 1997. At that time SBC Communications began taking over the operations.

The Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell brands were phased out when SBC dropped the Bell and RBOCs' names in December 2002 or January 2003. Almost three years later, AT&T Corporation and SBC merged together. That officially ended the Nevada Bell, Ameritech, Southwestern Bell and Pacific Bell brands. In other words these brands were no longer used as of 2005 or 2006.
