About us
A company that understands you
1 Touch Communications is your preferred Texas technology and telecom advisor, focused on understanding your business needs and the goals you want to accomplish, then connecting you with the suppliers to get there.
Who we are
We're an independent, Texas-based technology brokerage. Rather than selling one network's products, we sit on your side of the table, sourcing the right connectivity, cloud, communications, and security solutions from a marketplace of 330+ carriers and suppliers.
Because suppliers compensate us, our advisory services come at no cost to you. You get expert, vendor-neutral guidance and a single point of contact for everything, without adding a line item to your budget.

- HUB-certified Texas business
- Vendor-neutral, with 330+ supplier relationships
- No cost for advisory services
- One point of contact, end to end
- Local market knowledge across Texas
