SmartCom Telephone is a leader in internet, data and telephone services in South Texas for 22+ years. Since we do very little advertising, we jokingly refer to ourselves as the best kept secret in service providers! However, our customers have a tendency to not keep it secret when they tell others of the level of service they are enjoying with us! We think you’ll find that we have some very satisfied customers here in South Texas.
