About UpLync

30 Years of Keeping Businesses Connected

For 30 years, UpLync has helped businesses stay connected as technology, communication tools, and customer needs have changed. UpLync started as one of Missouri’s first rural internet providers and has grown into a company that helps businesses communicate better with phone systems, internet services, texting, mobile apps, and local support.

Today, we serve businesses in Indiana and beyond with the same approach we started with: reliable technology, honest advice, and quick support.

More Than a Service ProviderTechnology changes. Good service doesn’t.

Businesses need more than phones and internet. They need people who answer questions, solve problems, and stay involved long after installation.

At UpLync, the team that recommends your setup also helps coordinate the transition, trains your employees, and supports your business afterward. Meet the people behind that experience.
