Local Telephone Service
Minerva Valley offers local telephone service to the Iowa communities of Clemons, St. Anthony, Zearing, and the surrounding rural areas. Rates for local service are determined by city, rural, resident or business criteria. A line is considered a business line if the telephone number is listed under a business name or is used for service advertising purposes. Minerva Valley prides itself in the quality of service and low monthly rates we have provided our local customers for the past 60 years.
