800/888/877/866 Numbers

In the past, only businesses had 800/888/877/866 numbers. Today residences who have family members that frequently call home long distance, such as college students or truck drivers, have 800/888/877/866 numbers. The cost savings worth looking into. If you have a current 800/888 number, you can keep that number and switch to Coon Valley Long Distance.
