BPS Telephone Company is an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) serving three counties in Southeast Missouri.

     BPS has customers located in Bernie, Parma, Steele, Cooter, Denton, and Holland Missouri, and surrounding areas. BPS began operations in 1996 after a purchase of GTE exchanges. BPS Telephone Company is wholly owned by FDF Communications, a privately held corporation.
