Minot, ND – SRT Communications, Inc. announced today that it is discontinuing its retail wireless cell phone operations. SRT has offered wireless phone service to the region for nearly 20 years and cites changes in technology and customer demand as factors in the decision. The transition to Verizon Wireless will allow SRT subscribers to have 4G LTE coverage, access to the latest phones available, access to the nation’s most robust national coverage, and the reliability of the #1 wireless provider in the market.
Steve Lysne, SRT CEO/General Manager stated “We were at a critical point with our wireless cell phone network. The opportunity to offer our customers Verizon service provides our wireless cell phone customers with a premier wireless experience, provides us with greater financial flexibility for the cooperative, enhanced operational efficiency, and innovations that will benefit our customers in the long term.”
SRT is pleased to provide customers an opportunity to participate in an exclusive promotional offer from Verizon Wireless that will run through July 15, 2017. SRT wireless cell phone customers are encouraged to take their phones to any Verizon store or Verizon agent to take advantage of these offers.
