Verizon Pennsylvania, Inc., formerly '''The Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania''', who traded as '''Bell of Pennsylvania''', is the Bell Operating Company serving most of Pennsylvania. In 1984 , the Bell System Divestiture split Bell of Pennsylvania off into a Regional Holding Company , along with the 21 other BOCs AT&T had a majority stake in. On January 1, 1984, Bell of Pennsylvania became part of Bell Atlantic .

Throughout the 80s to the first half of the 90s, Bell of Pennsylvania kept its traditional identity. In 1994 , Bell Atlantic started rebranding all its companies to Bell Atlantic-(state), so Bell of Pennsylvania became Bell Atlantic - Pennsylvania, Inc. In 2000 , after the Bell Atlantic- GTE merger, the corporation changed its name to Verizon , and so Bell of Pennsylvania once again changed its name, this time to Verizon Pennsylvania, Inc.
