Nationwide Carrier with Unhappy Cellular Customers in the Oklahoma Panhandle

PTCI has been asked if they are blocking cellular calls to and from a nationwide carrier AT&T.
Fact: No. PTCI cannot block calls from or to AT&T cellular customers.
Fact: AT&T GSM technology does not work PTCI’s CDMA technology. GSM technology requires a sim card inserted in the cellular phone. CDMA does not use sim cards. The technology differences means neither company can reciprocate to process cellular calls nor enter into roaming agreements to process cellular calls.
For more information regarding this matter contact PTCI PR department by calling 580.338.2556 or outside of Guymon, 800.562.2556.

Do I Want a Smartphone or a Feature Phone?


In order to decide between a smartphone and a feature phone, you may first wonder just what the differences are. Wikipedia describes smartphones as similar to handheld computers that are integrated with a mobile telephone. Phones that are not smartphones are called feature phones. Typically, smartphones have advanced capabilities beyond most feature phones. Smartphones run on standard operating systems that enable the use of third-party applications (apps). Compared to feature phones, smartphones usually have larger displays and more powerful processors. Other aspects of smartphones may include, but are not limited to, HTML Web browsers in lieu of the less user-friendly mobile Web (WAP), automatic sending and receiving e-mails, document editing, calendar syncing, and QWERTY keyboards, although some feature phones also provide some of these characteristics.

Today the distinctions are becoming vague and blurred, but in general, smartphones are more expensive and need more costly data plans. This is because smartphones use massive data if utilized as intended.

Still wondering which phone is for you? Ask yourself these questions: Would I like the ability to have a mobile computer-type phone in the palm of my hand wherever I go? Am I willing to spend a little bit more on a phone and monthly bill to have constant and near-effortless Internet access? Would I use my cell phone in my business to monitor my e-mail? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are most-likely a perfect candidate for a smartphone. PTCI has several popular models to choose from that you will love! Ask your local customer service representative for help deciding which phone is right for you.

Broadband Speeds in Rural America Could Be Limited

For Immediate Release July 1, 2010


The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a new broadband plan that may impact your service. The proposal promises Internet speeds of 100 Mbps to at least 100 million Americans by the year 2020, but establishes a dangerously low threshold of just 4 Mbps for rural/high cost areas such as the Oklahoma Panhandle. Rural consumers, businesses, farms, hospitals, schools, libraries, etc. will have substandard service while urban areas get speeds of 25 times faster. Reliable, high-speed broadband has become the essential service of today. Broadband can improve the lives of all consumers, but access is especially important for those of us living in rural America. The Internet gives small businesses the opportunity to reach customers nationwide, offers local students the chance to take classes online and allows doctors to remotely diagnose patients and even offer remote emergency care.
The Communications Act requires that rural consumers have access to communications services at prices that are affordable and reasonably comparable to those available in urban areas. Rather than support this same universal service philosophy for broadband, the FCC’s plan offers faster, better services to some Americans while guaranteeing lesser service to others.
Don’t let the FCC keep our rural community on the slow side of the digital divide. You deserve comparable speed at affordable prices. The FCC and Congress must redirect the broadband plan to ensure 100 Mbps service is the goal for ALL consumers, not just a select few. Contact your congressional representative. Urge them to support regulatory action that ensures equal access to broadband for all Americans.
