We hope to begin beta testing a new telephone service for our residents that will allow anyone to have their own publicly-dialiable telephone number that can be directed to your own private voicemail box and, if you are in North America, can let you forward those calls to any other phone number you wish (no numbers outside of North America at this time however).  There will be no charge for this service (and will probably stay that way).

Uses:

Every member here can get their own phone number in the Riverton, Wyoming exchange.  You will have your own personal voicemail box, so if you wanted to reach out and let other residents here call you, they can call your private number here and you can then call them back.

Or, more powerfully, you can log into the website control panel and put a number(s) where you'd like calls to your Wyoming number forwarded to (and it's adjustable so you can turn it on or off or change the number you want calls to be forwarded to).  This lets anyone you wish call you at your Wyoming number and the call will be forwarded automatically at no charge to you.  It keeps your home phone/cell phone number private - only you will know.

Voicemail messages are delivered automatically as sound files to your e-mail address that you specify.

BetterMost can then publish our own community directory with telephone numbers of residents (unless you want it unlisted).

If you are interested in this service, I am putting together a waiting list, first-come, first-served, as numbers become available in the Riverton, Wyoming exchange.  Just reply to this message indicating you are interested and I'll PM you as the service becomes available.  The voicemail feature is open to everyone, regardless of where you live.

We are able to get two telephone numbers assigned at a time, and then a request goes in for additional numbers.  Because Riverton is a small city, it is taking a bit longer than anticipated to get new numbers assigned from the phone company.  I am checking daily for new allotments, so I will get to you in the order in which you requested to participate, so hang in there.
