Frontier: FCC docket 26-116
Frontier has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering residential and business legacy TDM-based voice service throughout the former Frontier telephone service areas in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, and Tennessee, as of September 8, 2026.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on June 21, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
We matched it to 88 telephone exchanges in 5 states. A filing that covers "portions" of a state doesn't list addresses, so a line in one of these towns may or may not be included.
