Iowa Telecommunications: FCC docket 26-31

Iowa Telecommunications has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering legacy voice and long distance services, including direct lines (trunks), Primary Interexchange Carrier services and toll-free calling 800 service in Iowa, as of March 16, 2026.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on March 16, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice

This filing comes from a company that sells lines over another phone company's network, or it names cities or customers rather than telephone exchanges, so we don't match it to town pages. If you buy phone lines from Iowa Telecommunications, it applies to you; the FCC docket has the full details.
