Since 1984, DTEL Telecommunications has been Gastonia’s first choice for business telephone systems and service. We are proud to have been recognized in The Charlotte Business Journal’s “Largest Area Business Telephone Systems Suppliers” in the December 19, 2008 edition, coming in at #19 (of 23), ranked by number of full-time employees.
We thank our customers for a great first 27 years!

Nortel Networks, Canadian maker of telephone central office switching equipment and telephone systems filed on January 14, 2009, and plans to restructure. They have lost $7 billon over the last three years and the company has shrunk dramatically, and is expected to be sold off pieces of the business. Immediate impact on Nortel phone system customers is unclear, but look for support and dealers to fade away over time. The secondary market may be a primatry supply source from here on.
We responded to several of our customers on May 9th, 2008 as the result of the pre-dawn tornado that touched down in Gastonia that morning. On that day we restored service to approximately (8) of our customers, including rigging temporary emergency telephone and data drops for approximately (30)employees of Pathways, after their building sustained major structural damage to the south wing, and doing the same for Industrial Distribution Group in Belmont after they lost the roof of their warehouse. DTEL techs rigged data and telephone service at a temporary location for IDG and completed the job in (2) business days. Our techs worked overtime in difficult circumstances to restore service and were on the scene working within one hour of recieving the service call at both locations…..now that’s real customer service – and we’re gonna toot our horn about it a little bit!
Make your next telephone system VoIP capable (voice over IP) especially if you have branch offices, home office workers, or a lot of international or long distance calling. Seamlessly centralize voicemail, and integrate your cell phone with your telephone system. With a flat rate monthly account with one of the Internet telephony service providers can provide SIP lines anywhere. Remote workers only need a high speed internet connection to be plugged into the office system. You can often save enough to offset the price of the system. You just have to do the math – or we’ll do the math. A short analysis can help determine if a VoIP system would save you money. 90% of the inquiries about new telephone systems that we get are customers shopping for VoIP!
