About MTC

Mutual Telephone Company was formed in January of 1905 when 150 patrons gathered at City Hall to organize an independent phone company.

Prior to this, there had been telephone service in Little River for nearly fifteen years. According to an article in the March 6, 1890 edition of The Little River Monitor, Messrs. Zook and Keim of Inman were in town installing telephones. The editor noted there was a phone in his office and one in his home and they seemed satisfactory. At this time, residents ran their own lines from house to house in any way possible – some were even strung on hedge posts. There was no central office. The telephones were no more than a box hung on the wall with a bell, microphone, speaker and a six-volt battery.

From these humble beginnings, MTC, has evolved into one of the most state-of-the-art telecommunications providers in our area.

Today, 100% of MTC’s Little River customers are connected to a “fiber to the home”  network–the most advanced telecommunciations technology available in the world. Our Little River customers both in town and in the country, enjoy the latest in Digital TV (including HDTV, Digital Video Recorders and Video on Demand), blazing fast Internet downloads speeds up to 10Mbps, and the latest telephone features, like Voice Mail, Conference calling and even privacy defender, which they can manage and configure online. And now MTC is in the process of building out our fiber network to the Lyons & Sterling communities as well!

MTC also offers High Speed Internet, Long Distance service, Computer Repair & Sales services, and Nex-Tech Wireless service to customers in Rice & Western McPherson Counties.
