I just watched this great mini-documentary about a local landline system in Bellingham WA. Well worth a couple of minutes.

People can call each other but also businesses have 4-digit phone numbers that are shortened versions of the business name, like GUIT for the guitar shop.
How lovely and so very Bellingham-esque! $5/mo and looks like it can be used outside Bham.

I hope these guys do well or more local options keep on popping up.
