California - Telephone Corporation ($25,000) — required surety bond in California. Apply online in minutes.
A California Telephone Corporation Bond is a financial guarantee required for certain telecommunications providers operating within the state. It ensures the company adheres to state utility regulations, remits required taxes and fees, and protects customer deposits or advance payments. If the company fails to fulfill these obligations, the bond provides a mechanism for the state or consumers to seek financial restitution.
Telecommunications companies providing intrastate voice or data services in California typically need to secure this bond. This often includes interexchange carriers, competitive local exchange carriers, and prepaid calling card providers. You should verify your specific bonding requirements directly with the regulating state agency before applying.
The obligee requires this bond to protect consumers and the state from financial harm caused by a telecommunications provider's non-compliance, fraud, or insolvency. It serves as a safety net guaranteeing that customer advances are refunded and state-mandated surcharges are properly collected and remitted. Ultimately, it helps maintain the integrity of the state's public utility infrastructure.
