Our Story
Saddleback Communications was founded in 1997 by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) to upgrade and enhance the quality of telephone, data and Internet services for the residents and businesses on the Community.
We became a federally regulated telephone company and the sole authorized provider of local telephone services and communications infrastructure to the Community.
Two decades later, we’ve invested millions of dollars in building an advanced communications company with a carrier-class, redundant network that provides the latest in high-availability connectivity and cloud-based collaboration to businesses as well as voice and high-speed Internet services to our residents.
