About United Wireless
United Telephone Association, Inc. was organized in 1951, by a group of farmers in the Ford County area who wanted telephone service in the rural area surrounding Dodge City, because they were unable to get Southwestern Bell to provide them with any service. They were soon joined by farmers in the Gray County area. The original plan of the Association was to serve the rural area surrounding Dodge City; the towns of Ensign, Spearville and Kingsdown and the rural area surrounding each town, in which the Association had options to purchase the telephone systems. In October 1952 the telephone exchanges in Cimarron, Copeland, Montezuma and Ingalls were purchased. In February 1956 the exchanges of Ashland and Englewood were purchased. On February 23, 1959 the Ensign Telephone Company was purchased. In February 1973, the Board made the decision to take over the territory served by the Ford Mutual Telephone Company.
In February, 1967, a Private Branch Exchange of PBX was installed by United for the American Products Manufacturing business in Spearville. This was a first for United. In 1979 United formed a subsidiary company, United Communications Association, Inc., to handle Cable Television and the deregulated portion of the telephone business. In 2000, United Communications rolled out its DSL Internet service in all if its exchanges. In 2005, United Wireless was started as a way of bringing the latest technology to their customers. This service includes both wireless internet services and United Wireless cell phone services.
Today, United Wireless has thousands of satisfied customers throughout southwest Kansas and offers the latest technology including 4g and smart phones.
