Palmetto Rural Telephone Cooperative is an independent cooperative telephone company serving Colleton County in the “Lowcountry” of South Carolina for over 50 years. Our mission is to provide superior quality telecommunications products and services at a cost-effective price consistent with good leadership, benefitting our members and associates. Our local network is 100% digital for switching with Fiber Optic transport infrastructure, allowing us to provide the latest technology for the voice and high speed data services we bring to our customers.
Palmetto Rural prides itself on excellent customer service; we also work hard to be a good citizen of our local community. This is a top priority for the company.
Palmetto Rural is an active supporter of the Chamber of Commerce and the local Arts Council, working with these and other community projects to the betterment of our community. Our employees serve on community boards and regularly volunteer their time with local churches, schools and sports teams and support two major community charity events, Relay for Life for funding cancer research and the March of Dimes for fighting birth defects. Each year Palmetto Telephone ranks among the top sponsors of these major events.
In 2007, one employee, Jimmy Trippe, “Bubba” to his friends, was selected by a Charleston radio station as their Hero of the Week, citing the many years he has organized and led the company’s participation in the March of Dimes fund raising.
Our commitment to meeting the telecommunications needs of our community by providing the best products and services possible makes Palmetto Rural Telephone a good neighbor.
