Everything about New England Telephone totally explained
New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. was the former name of
Verizon New England, Inc., a
Bell Operating Company that until
2008 served the majority of
New England, and still operates in
Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. It is an operating unit of
Verizon Communications.
New England Telephone was a part of the original
AT&T, which owned 86% of the company from the creation of the AT&T national monopoly (often called "Ma Bell") in 1907 until 1984, when AT&T was divested of its local operating companies. New England Telephone became part of
NYNEX on that date, and after 1994 the name was no longer officially used.
Through a variety of mergers and acquisitions its operations were successively part of NYNEX,
Bell Atlantic, and now Verizon. As of April 1, 2008, some of these operations were transferred to
FairPoint Communications under the operation of
Northern New England Telephone Operations; the rest remained in control of Verizon New England.
Headquarters of New England Telephone are in the
Post Office Square area of the
Financial District. As of 2007, the building is still used by Verizon Communications.
Its slogan and jingle was "We're the one for you, New England. New England Telephone."
Despite the similarity of names, it has no connection to
New England Telephone and Telegraph, a short-lived company that dissolved in 1879, or
Southern New England Telephone (SNET) which covered
Connecticut and small parts of
New York. (Verizon has operations in a small part of Connecticut, but that's considered part of
New York Telephone.)
