Island Telecom was a telephone service provider in Prince Edward Island.
Founded in 1885 as the Prince Edward Island Telephone Company (IslandTel), the company formed a formal alliance with Nova Scotia-based MT&T early on, which resulted in the agreement to share the 902 area code. Don Livingstone was the CEO for a number of years
The company was renamed Island Telecom in 1998 to reflect the growing diversity of its business areas. It merged with the other Stentor Alliance companies in Atlantic Canada in 1999 to form Aliant (now Bell Aliant).

Famous quotes containing the word island:
“An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
