Their was an immediate requirement for local telephone service in the Illinois area, so Adams Telephone Co-Operative was created as a part of Adams Electric Co-Operative (AEC). The first Board of Directors meeting of ADAMS TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE was held at AEC in Camp Point, on April 18, 1952.

In May 1952 meeting, the Board got a proposal and they accepted the proposed plans for hub and telephone facilities for the Eras, Marceline, Lima, Mendon, Loraine and Sutter areas. By February 1953, maximum part of the legal issues, loan facilities and plant set up work had been finished with very little number of members being served. By the summer of 1953, Adams managed work at the Urmaoga Telephone Company, the Mendon Telephone Company and the Mann Telephone Company. There were 120 registered members present at the first yearly rendezvous of the Adams Telephone Co-Operative, held at the Mendon Gym, on September 29, 1953.

By the time its recognition was established as a leader in the telecommunications industry, Adams Telephone Co-Operative was handpicked to host representatives of the telephone company from the Republic of Honduras. The Honduras Telephone Company was government owned and was undergoing the very same barriers as problems as the rural telephone companies in the United States. The need as well as demand for telephone services and communication exceeded the tolerance level of the demand so solution present was available but scarce that is those could have been provided to very few people. However, the Honduras management employees went away feeling extremely delighted and impressed with the Cooperative's operations and way of functioning.

Stepping and exploring onto a new area, Adams Telephone Co-Operative intentionally continues to stay stacked of all the latest technological advances and improvements in the telecommunications industry. As a result of these adventures into new technologies and improving its buried cable lines and personal computers switching systems, Adams continues to inflate its services and products offerings into such area as the Internet and various forms of wireless telecommunications.

In mid year 2000, Adams let cat out of the bag with showcasing its high-speed Internet service which uses Digital Subscriber Line technology. Adams was the first provider of DSL service in the entire Illinois area. ADAMS TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE eventually improved on its high speed offers through Wireless services. Within a year Adams started web training courses which were taught online by various software’s and tutors and also started internet filtering service to its web users, including CyberSchool and NetGuardian.

Over the last 50 years ADAMS TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE has evolved into a state of the art full fledged service telecommunications provider. However Adams main intentions still remains the same that is serving the rural community, they continue to deliver the latest services at very cheap prices. The support of its board members are very vital so with their help and subscribers Adams is already providing quality tele- communication services while giving and expanding the latest in technological advances.
