Local Alliance Network

Local Alliance Network is a Long Distance Program provided by Independent Networks, your local, independent telephone company.

 LAN History

Local Alliance Network (LAN)
is a long distance program brought to you by eight local, independent telephone companies and one electric cooperative.  These companies:
  •  Pay property taxes in your community
  •  Are involved with area economic development
  •  Employees live and work in your towns
  •  Send their children to your schools
  •  Strive to provide quality telephone and electric services
  •  Are concerned with keeping costs competitive

By working together, these companies created Local Alliance Network.  Local Alliance Network provides a simple to understand program without extra fees or charges, such as "Universal Connectivity Charges", surcharges and minimum usage fees. Check your current bill carefully.  If you see one or any of these costs, you're probably paying too much for long distance!


Another huge benefit of using LAN is 6 second incremental billing. Several long distance companies round up to the next full minute, charging for time that you haven't used. After the first full minute, LAN breaks down your bill in 6 second increments.

Personal 800 Numbers & Calling Cards
Rather than placing a collect call, a personal 800 number or calling card is a great way to save money and stay in touch. Personal 800 numbers are charged a flat 14¢ per minute with 6 second incremental billing after the first full minute and calling cards are a flat 25¢. Both have no monthly service charge or initial setup charge.
