OmniTel’s Traditional Telephone Service

Nobody knows phone service quite like OmniTel. As a local phone company with 100 years of experience, we've learned a few lessons from our customers over the years - about providing the best quality service with a personal touch and helping customers get the services they need at an affordable price. In addition to reliable phone service at a great price, OmniTel offers a wide range of calling features like Caller ID and Call Waiting. We even offer features that can screen out telemarketers or allow you to forward your home phone calls to your wireless phone!

OmniTel to OmniTel Unlimited Local Calling

OmniTel defines 'local calls' a bit differently than other telephone companies. With OmniTel, 'local' means 'within our network', and our network has 14 communities that are all considered local. For example, when a traditional OmniTel telephone customer in Nora Springs calls another traditionalOmniTel telephone customer in St. Ansgar, the call is considered a 'local' call, and there are no long distance toll charges.

That's right, there are are no long distance toll charges for all calls within the following OmniTel Unlimited Local Calling Communities: Nora Springs, Rudd, Rockford, Marble Rock, Plymouth, Rockford, Greene, Rock Falls, Stacyville, St Ansgar, Little Cedar, McIntire, Riceville and New Haven.

There is no long distance toll charge for calls between the OmniTel exchanges listed above. When calling an EAS (extended area service) exchange, simply dial the 7-digit telephone number as listed in the directory. Please do NOT dial DDD Access “1” or dial the operator when placing EAS calls, or you will be charged for a long distance call.
