URGENT NOTICE 6-12-20

Dumont Telephone Company will continue to operate at the Severe Level of Pandemic Response. Governor Reynolds has lifted restrictions on businesses allowing them to work towards resuming operations to full capacity; however, this decision does not change how we will continue to operate. Our main mission continues to be to provide you with Telephone, Cable TV and Broadband service while maintaining a safe environment for our customers and our staff. According to our plan, since there are active COVID-19 cases within the County, we will not allow any guests in the building and all shipments, deliveries, pick-ups and drop offs will be done in the front entryway. Our office window is open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with all employees performing their duties as normal. I would encourage you to take advantage of our eBill and AutoPay options to make your life simpler and safer.  If you need service in your home or business, we ensure our employees are not experiencing any of the known symptoms and will call you first to confirm you are not experiencing symptoms if you want us to enter your location. Please contact me at 641-857-3211 if you have any questions.
