About HunTel

We Bring The World Home
HunTel is a diverse, worldwide family of businesses headquartered in Blair, Nebraska. We’ve been in business since 1912, and since 1975, we’ve been growing at an astonishing rate - adopting new technologies as they develop and aggressively pursuing opportunities that arise.

While our family of businesses continues to expand globally, a strong commitment to our customers, the community, and to each other remains important to each HunTel associate.

Our Customers

While each HunTel affiliate provides its own unique products and services, we all strive to provide outstanding customer care. From local telephone service to international projects, each customer receives the same respect and attention. At HunTel, we take the time to listen to customer concerns, and then we work with them to develop the solution that fits each individual situation.

Our Communities

Our family-oriented headquarters is a big part of HunTel’s heritage, and we’re proud of our roots. That’s why we take community support seriously, with substantial contributions to local and area organizations, charities, and worthy fund drives. Our in-kind services assist community development, area renovations, and charitable causes. We also encourage our associates to volunteer in youth, civic, and church activities. Through these programs, we hope to contribute to the strength of our communities for future generations.

Our Associates

HunTel’s associates have always been our greatest asset. Their creative thinking, extraordinary innovation, and reliable customer service allow HunTel to grow and improve every year.

Because of our dedicated associates, every business affiliate can provide a wide array of products and services to customers around the world. While each HunTel affiliate operates independently and serves its own customer base, our associates share the same simple philosophy - a commitment to our customers through effective communication.

Everyone at HunTel - from the Internet division to our engineering department - listens to the customers’ needs. We then exchange ideas, formulate strategies, listen even more, and finally develop products and services that exceed our customers’ expectations. Each of our associates is confident that the solution or service we provide is the one our customers really need.

At HunTel, these commitments to our customers, communities, and associates help us continue to bring the world home.
