TDS Telecom is offering this expedited ("rush") payment site as a convenience option to you, our valued customer ("you" or "your").

The Service is limited to the ability to pay your TDS Telecom accounts and statements electronically via the Internet. This service will not change how you receive your TDS Telecom billing statement. Please be advised that a separate charge will be issued by a 3rd party payment service provider for the cost of this Service.
