I just got rid of my Vonage account now that we all have cell phones. I
got a 651 area code for the Twin Cities so all of our relatives could
call us for free. The service worked great.

Holy crap! Sounds like you guys need to check out internet phone
service...

I hear it's cheap!



Vonage has $49.95 Small Business "unlimited" plan. Dedicated fax line,
local extensions (Salt Lake City area codes available) lots of features.

...only it doesn't show Montana as an option, yet.

Our friends have Vonage and have an extra Mexico City phone #. When his
wife's friends and family call, from Mexico city, it's a local call for
them, but rings in Minnesota at our friend's house.

So... maybe Salt Lake City could sign up with Vonage, then you would
call their local Billings, MT Vonage number. Much of your SLC phone
traffic would then be only a local call for you - if it works out that
way through Vonage. Not all, but a chunk of calls could go through Vonage.

$35K x 12 months = over $420,000. Wow!

Ham radio an option? "Calling Salt Lake City..."
