Wireless Services

NEP Telephone has GSM wireless services in place for Dimock, Montrose, Susquehanna, Forest City, and other towns in the area. They offer EDGE and GPRS wireless data services.

NEP offers nationwide coverage via roaming agreements with AT&T and T-Mobile USA.

NEP owns a 700 MHz B block license for CMA-122 Binghamton, NY.^[4]

NEP Wireless has decided to exit the retail wireless business. NEP Wireless service terminated effective September 22, 2015.^[5]
