In 1986 Pacific Telemanagement Services (PTS) began making its mark in the Public Communications industry by providing public payphone installations, repairs and maintenance services. In 1998, PTS significantly increased its national footprint by purchasing the assets of payphone service providers across the country and building valuable business relationships with prominent partners and clients that not only strengthened its foundation, but also lead PTS to become the largest public payphone provider in the United States with over 45,000 payphones in 48 states.
