It has a slightly wacky “Back-to-the-Future” type feel to it. Hope you enjoy this ad circa late 1980s – early 1990s.. (If you know the exact date of this, please let us know. Thanks!)

NYNEX Corporation, now defunct, was an American telephone company that served five states of New England (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) as well as most of the state of New York from January 1, 1984 to August 14, 1997.

NYNEX was formed on January 1, 1984 as the result of the breakup of the Bell System, NYNEX was a Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) which was made up of former subsidiaries of AT&T, these being New York Telephone and New England Telephone.

“NYNEX” is an acronym for New York/New England EXchange.

NYNEX merged with Bell Atlantic on August 14, 1997, in what was at the time the second-largest merger in corporate history in America.

The surviving company Bell Atlantic, moved to the headquarters of NYNEX in New York City.
Bell Atlantic acquired GTE on June 30, 2000 to form Verizon Communications.
