…so I can understand what you're working with before we talk.
You probably don't need more technology. You need the technology you already depend on to actually work.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- “Our phones work… most of the time.”
- “I don't even know who I'm supposed to call when something goes wrong.”
- “Every time I call support, I have to explain everything again.”
- “We're paying for things I'm not even sure we need.”
- “Our system was set up years ago and we've just kept making it work.”
- “I need someone who can tell me what we actually need—not sell me a bunch of stuff.”
- “We're out here. The solutions that work in bigger towns don't always work here.”
- “I just want to call someone who knows us.”
You might be thinking: “I need someone who can tell me what I actually need, not sell me a bunch of stuff.”
You shouldn't need a ticket number to get help.
I'm Chris. I help small and rural businesses make their phones and everyday technology work the way they're supposed to.
When you call, you're not getting routed through a national call center or explaining your problem to the fifth person you've talked to this week. You're talking to me.
I'll learn how your business operates, look at what you already have, and help you figure out what actually makes sense. Sometimes that means replacing something. Sometimes it means fixing what you've already got.
What I can help with
Business Phone Systems
For businesses that need their customers to be able to reach the right person—whether your team is behind a desk, in a shop, on the road, or spread across several locations.
- New business phone systems

- Extensions and call routing
- Voicemail setup
- Multi-location systems
- Calling for remote and mobile employees
- Upgrades and replacements
Phone System Checkup
Not sure what you have—or whether you're overpaying for it?
I'll review:
- Your current setup
- Your current bill
- What's working
- What's frustrating
- What your business actually needs
“I'll tell you what I'd keep, what I'd change, and what I'd leave alone.”Ask Chris about a checkup
Other tech help
Phones aren't the only technology small businesses get stuck managing.
Not sure whether it's something I handle? Ask. If I can't help, I'll tell you.
Why Rural Phones
Big providers aren't necessarily bad. They're just built differently.
A company serving millions of customers needs ticket numbers, departments, scripts and call queues. But when you're running a small business in a rural community, sometimes you don't need another department. You need a person.
Someone who knows:
- what system you have
- how your business uses it
- what you've already tried
- what matters when something stops working
- and who to call next
That's what Rural Phones is built to provide.
I'm not here to tell you anyone did you wrong. This is just why I built what I built.
What working with me is like
Tell me what's going on.
Answer a few questions about your business, your current phone setup and what's working—or isn't.
We'll talk.
I'll call you back on Tuesday. No sales department. No phone tree.
We'll figure out the right next step.
Whether your current system can be improved or something different makes more sense.
You know who to call afterward.
Rural businesses don't need another vendor. They need people they can count on.
Rural Phones is run by Veazey Technologies in Rapid City, South Dakota, which already supports phones, email and networks for small businesses across the area.

Let's figure out what you actually need.
You don't need to know what phone system you have. You don't need to know the technical terminology. And you don't need to have the solution figured out before you call.
That's my job.
Before we talk, tell me a little about what you're working with.
Takes about 2–3 minutes. If it's more urgent, call or text (605) 381-1059 during regular business hours.
