Verizon Pennsylvania LLC, formerly traded as Bell of Pennsylvania, is the Bell Operating Company serving most of Pennsylvania. The company was founded in 1879 as Bell Telephone Company of Philadelphia, owned by National Bell Telephone Company, which later became American Bell.

In 1899, the company became a subsidiary of American Telephone and Telegraph Company following its buyout of American Bell.

The company is separate from Verizon North, which consists of former GTE-owned assets in rural Pennsylvania.
