My suggestion is to save a bunch of money and use Sunrocket VoIP phone service over a broadband internet connection. The annual cost is $199/yr which is less than $17/month. THis includes unlimited local and long distanve. I have two phones with this service and see little difference between them and the Verizon service I previously had. You get voicemail and many other features for free as well, including getting your messages via web for free. I have no landline service anymore. The cheapest Verizon alternative was $35.99 which ballooned to $60 per month with taxes, fees, and surcharges. Why pay this? If you are concerned about power outages that would take the internet down, augment your service with a cell phone for emergencies...which you probably already have. Incidentally, I have not had a problem with my internet going down. Finally Sunrocket is available anywhere in the US, and international calls cost just pennies per minute. There are cheaper plans, too. In those plans, if you call another Sunrocket member -- the charge is free.

Hope this gives you an alternative.

I would go to or call the Chamber of Commerce to where you are moving. Many towns, even small ones, put together info. packets that have local phone books, and in the front of those phone books are the numbers you need to call to establish service.
Also, as a bonus you get information about where you are moving to which is a big help because it often includes all the utility company hook up info. as well...good luck.

Answer 5

You'll likely get a phone book for the area. The information for phone service is in the front of the book.

Answer 6

Where are you moving to? In most areas, A T & T, which used to be SBC is the major phone service provider.

Answer 7

As long as you have high speed internet, I'd go with Lingo or Vonage. You can call anywhere for free. The only downside is you must speed dial your local fire, police etc...911 does not work on these types of systems...yet. I have Lingo, it's 22 bucks a month flat fee, free calling anywhere. Vonage is about 25 bucks a month.

Answer 8

Your best bet is to contact the chamber of commerce for the town you are moving to. They have information on all types of services you may need when moving to a new town. If you can't locate the chamber (can search for chambers on internet), you can call information for that town's city hall. They also have quite a bit of information you may need in a new town.

Answer 9

Get a phone book or ask the locals!

Answer 10

I would go to your city hall the one that your moving to and ask them for the info on home phone and and other things you need for the house.

Answer 11

Call any entity in the area to ask, for example, the Better Business Bureau.
