Island Telecom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Island Telecom was a telephone service provider in Prince Edward Island.

Founded in 1885 as the Prince Edward Island Telephone Company (IslandTel), the company formed a formal alliance with Nova Scotia-based MT&T early on, which resulted in the agreement to share the 902 area code.

The company was renamed Island Telecom in 1998 to reflect the growing diversity of its business areas. It merged with the other Stentor Alliance companies in Atlantic Canada in 1999 to form Aliant.
