PacTel

PacTel, short for Pacific Telephone, was a major telecommunications company serving the western United States, primarily California. It provided landline telephone services, including local and long-distance calls, as well as other communication solutions. As part of Pacific Telesis Group, PacTel was a key player in the evolution of phone networks, later transitioning through industry changes and mergers. Today, its assets and operations have been integrated into larger companies like AT&T, but its history reflects the development of telecommunications infrastructure in the region.
