Fulton, MS – [FEBRUARY 19, 2024]

Fulton Telephone Company (FTC) is rebranding, along with its parent company, Fail Telecommunications Corporation, to Arriva Connect (Arriva).

 

Arriva, which translates to arrive, represents the company’s arrival into the next generation of new, enhanced connections, and a renewed commitment to innovation and growth. “Fail Telecommunication’s legacy of connecting Mississippians through exceptional service dates back a full century to 1923.” said Ali Alexander Phillips, Arriva’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our rebranding is much more than a simple name change. It’s redefining who we are and who we are becoming, which is more than just your local telephone provider. Along with our rebranding, we are welcoming new management and new faces to FTC, soon to be Arriva.”
