Wire Maintenance

For only $2/month, the Maintenance Plan covers all wiring repairs and the cost of the jack. It even covers your telephone if you lease it from Etex Telephone.

Customers who do not subscribe to the maintenance plan will pay a trip charge as well as for repairs made. These costs could be $75 or more, depending on the repair and how long it takes to make the repair.

If you have wiring problems in the attic, it could take two men to make the repair and that could start adding up. Even something small like repairing a wire that an animal has chewed through can be costly. With the Maintenance Plan from Etex Telephone, these repairs are covered. To sign up for the Maintenance Plan, call our business office at (903) 797-HELP.
