NATCO Will Assist Present and New Customers Who Lost Phone Service in February 5 Tornado

Northern Arkansas Telephone Company (NATCO) will assist present customers displaced by the Feb. 5 tornado by holding their phone numbers and re-installing telephone service free when customers are ready, said Steven G. Sanders Jr., NATCO vice president and plant manager.

Also, new customers moving into the NATCO telephone service area from other areas damaged by the tornado will receive free phone installation, Sanders said.

To be included in this offer, customers must notify NATCO that storm damage put their phones out of service. They may use regular mail, stop by the NATCO office, call NATCO toll-free at 1-800-775-6682, or e-mail NATCO at custserv@natconet.com.

“We want to reserve existing customers’ phone numbers for them so their business and personal contacts can continue normally after the storm damage is repaired and re-install their service free whenever they are ready,” Sanders said. “We offer any new customers moving into our six telephone exchange areas due to the tornado the same courtesy,” he said.
