MIDTEL Coronavirus Updates – 3/27/20

MIDTEL is committed to continuing to provide the most reliable and robust communications services to our customers.  We are considered an Essential Service and will continue to operate under the Governor’s Stay at Home Order.

MIDTEL is working on a free public Wi-Fi plan for various locations throughout our service territory.  Once we have approval and services are being activated we will let everyone know through our social media accounts and website.
