Wisconsin Bell, Inc. (known as '''Wisconsin Telephone Co.''' before 1984 ) is the name of the Bell Operating Company serving Wisconsin . They were a wholly owned subsidiary of '''AT&T Inc.'''. Their headquarters is at 722 North Broadway, Milwaukee , WI. After the 1984 Bell System Divestiture , Wisconsin Bell became a part of Ameritech , one of the 7 original Bell Regional Holding Companies . The Wisconsin Bell name continued to be used until January, 1993 , when they dropped all of their individual Bell Operating Company names in favor of using their corporate name, Ameritech, for marketing purposes. In 1998 , Ameritech sold 19 Wisconsin Bell exchanges, primarily located in central and northern Wisconsin , to CenturyTel . After being held by AT&T (pre-1984), Ameritech , and SBC, as of 2005 , they are now part of the "new" AT&T. SEE ALSO Bell System LOGOS |
