New Service and Subscriber Charges

Pembroke Telephone requires subscribers to complete an application at our business office to establish new service. You will need proof of identification, such as a driver’s license. Pembroke Telephone generally can establish service in the customer's residence or business usually within five working days of application. Establishing service to new construction areas may take additional time depending on location. At the time of application, all new customers are required to pay any installation charges, first month’s local service and a deposit of $75.00 for residents and $120.00 for businesses. Deposits are held for one year and will be applied to the account with 7 percent interest when the account has been paid on time for twelve consecutive months. For more information about establishing phone service, please contact us.
