Our Commitment
Content for April 21, 2020
Like you—and everyone in our nation and across the world—Yucca Telecom is watching the news about COVID-19 carefully and doing what we can to respond thoughtfully and responsibly. The communities we serve are strong, and together we’ll all get through this challenging and unprecedented situation. As your trusted local provider, our priority is taking care of you as you navigate this trying time.
If you are needing new service, service additions or changes to your account, this can be done by phone. Employees are still in the office to answer calls, assist you with concerns and accept payments. We will continue to accept payments online or SmartHub, by phone at 1-888-220-4814, the drop boxes in front of our building or you can mail to: Yucca Telecom, P. O. Box 867, Portales, NM 88130.
Our focus is on the health of our customers and our employees. We want to make sure you have access to the services you need, while we protect our employees and follow the guidelines set by the state and federal government.
In adherence with our efforts to protect our customers and employees from the virus, we have recently updated our procedures to limit technicians’ interaction within our customers’ homes. We will continue to dispatch our technicians to customer homes for new installs and service affecting outages; however, we are making modifications before and during the entry to customer homes.
Safety Practices
We understand that communications services are needed now more than ever, so we have implemented several new safety practices to keep everyone safe:
- Asking our customers to self-certify that no one in the home is under quarantine or has flu-like symptoms.
- Asking our technicians to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before and after every customer visit.
- Practicing 6 feet physical distancing during any customer or public interaction.
- Technicians will wear protective gear to shield themselves and protect customers.
- The technician will take care of most of the work that needs to happen outside of the home.
We appreciate our customers and will continue to do our best to serve you.

Yucca Telecom has joined the FCC’s Keep Americans Connected Pledge to ensure our customers can stay connected during this COVID-19 crisis.
To make certain our customers who have been directly impacted by the COVID19 circumstances, have access to the tools they need to navigate this crisis, Yucca Telecom will not terminate services or apply late fees for any accounts that go past due during the next 60 days.
As the novel coronavirus disrupts our daily routines, many are turning to the telecommunications services for solutions. Businesses are allowing employees to telework, schools are trying out new distance learning tools, and doctors are relying on telehealth to care for some patients remotely. All of those services are made possible by voice and high-speed broadband connections.
Any customer needing assistance with their account should call the business office for payment arrangement details.
