Pioneer Telephone is providing Oklahoma children with a toll-free direct line to speak with Santa Claus for the 50th straight year.

Santa will be available to speak to eager, young callers one night only from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10.

To speak to Santa, call 866-92-SANTA or 866-927-2682.

Due to the overwhelming response each year, calls will be restricted to children residing in Oklahoma only.

In 2018, Pioneer transferred more than 2,000 calls to Santa during the two-hour event.

The program would not be possible without Pioneer employees volunteering their time to ensure as many callers as possible get an opportunity to talk with Santa.
