806-665 is owned entirely by southwestern bell
NTS communications, Grande communications networks, and clearwire
communications also serve that city just with a different set of numbers
(it should be a local call for most peoples plans though).

806-273 is also owned by southwestern bell entirely.
clearwire also has stuff in that same area, again with different numbers
(806-621 specifically).

So if you want 1 carrier that serves both areas you are really stuck with
wireless providers (probably not cost effective or what you want) or
southwestern bell or clearwire.

If however you went through a few carriers (probably not as cost
effective) you would be able to go through more companies in one area but
are still limited in the other.
