AT&T
The history of AT&T is deeply rooted in the history of the telephone in the United States. AT&T's roots stretch back to 1875, with founder Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone. During the 19th century, AT&T became the parent company of the Bell System, the American telephone monopoly. The Bell System provided what was by all accounts the best telephone service in the world. The system broke up into eight companies in 1984 by agreement between AT&T and the U.S. Department of Justice. From 1984 until 1996 AT&T was an integrated telecommunications services and equipment company, succeeding in a newly competitive environment. Today, AT&T is a global networking leader, focused on delivering IP-based solutions to enterprise and government customers. Additionally, as AT&T pivots away from traditional consumer services, the company continues to offer consumers and small businesses a breakthrough alternative to traditional services – Voice over IP.

Verizon
Maryland and Southern Bell. On Nov. 21, 1925 dial service is introduced to West Virginia in the Huntington office. Without dialing, all calls had to be placed manually through an operator. In fact, most phones had no dials at all. The first digital switching equipment is installed in October 1981 in the Falling Waters and Cheat Lake switching or serving offices. By 1993, all the equipment we used to connect customers' calls are digital.
The Chesapeake and Potomac begins operations as part of Bell Atlantic Corporation on Jan. 1, 1984, formed after the divestiture of the Bell System. Charleston becomes the first city in the United States to have a choice of long distance companies when they dial long distance calls using a "1" plus the area code and number. As the nation's first test market on July 15, 1984, 34,000 customers choose from one of eight long distance companies serving the area.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of West Virginia begin doing business as Bell Atlantic-West Virginia, Inc on Jan. 24, 1994. In the same year the World Wide Web becomes popular, the Bell Atlantic WORLD SCHOOL program is launched, the most aggressive deployment of direct Internet connections to schools in the nation. On June 30, 2000 Bell Atlantic and GTE merge, becoming Verizon. Bell Atlantic-West Virginia is now Verizon West Virginia.
