CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     As provided by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution that the statements in this Registration Statement and documents incorporated herein by reference have forward-looking statements that represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategies or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed below and those described from time to time in materials filed with our other filings with the Commission, including our registration statement on Form S-1, originally filed April 8, 2004. While it is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following:

	•		our high degree of leverage and significant debt service obligations;
	•		our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
	•		any adverse changes in law or government regulation, including possible changes to cash funding requirements for our defined benefit pension plan;

	•		the risk that we may not be able to retain existing customers or obtain new customers;
	•		the risk of technological innovations outpacing our ability to adapt or replace our equipment to offer comparable services;
	•		the possibility of labor disruptions;
	•		the risk of increased competition in the markets we serve;
	•		the impact of pricing decisions;
	•		the risk of weaker economic conditions within the United States;
	•		potential difficulties in integrating completed or future acquisitions;
	•		uncertainties associated with new product development;
	•		environmental matters;
	•		potential outcome of future income tax audits;
	•		possible future litigation or regulatory proceedings;
	•		changes in accounting policies or practices adopted voluntarily or as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; and
	•		other risks and uncertainties.

     Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen) or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or expected. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

THE COMPANY

     We are one of the largest providers of telecommunications services in rural communities in the southwestern United States and, based on the number of telephone lines we have in service, the seventh largest independent (non-Bell) local telephone company in the country. As of June 30, 2005, we operated approximately 530,000 telephone access lines in primarily rural areas of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas. We believe that in many of our markets we are the only service provider that offers customers an integrated package of local and long distance voice, high-speed data and Internet access, and enhanced services such as voicemail and caller identification.

     We formed our company in 2000 in connection with the acquisition of select telephone assets from GTE Southwest Corporation, which is now part of Verizon, and have since acquired the local telephone company serving Kerrville, Texas. The rural telephone businesses that we own have been operating in the markets we serve for over 75 years. Since our inception, we have invested substantial resources to improve and expand our network infrastructure to provide high quality telecommunications services and superior customer care.

     We operate our business through telephone company subsidiaries that qualify as rural local exchange carriers under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Like many rural telephone companies, our business has historically been characterized by stable operating results, revenue and cash flow and a relatively favorable regulatory environment, which includes support payments from the Texas and federal Universal Service Funds. In 2004, 23.7% of our revenues were attributable to such support payments. Our access line count decreased by approximately 16,400 lines, or 2.9%, during the year ended December 31, 2004, and by approximately 10,000 lines, or 1.9%, in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Excluding the number of access lines we gained in the Kerrville acquisition, we experienced access line loss in each of the past two fiscal years.

     We incorporated in Delaware in March 2004. Our principal executive offices are located at 201 E. John Carpenter Freeway, suite 200, Irving, Texas 75062 and our telephone number is (972) 373-1000. Our website address is www.valortelecom.com. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VCG”. Information included or referred to on our website is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Our Business

We provide services to our customers over access lines and if we continue to lose access lines our revenues, earnings and cash flow from operations may decrease.

     Our business generates revenue by delivering voice and data services over access lines. We have experienced net access line loss over the past few years, and during the year ended December 31, 2004, the number of access lines we serve declined by 2.9% due to challenging economic conditions, increased competition and the introduction of digital subscriber lines, or DSL, and cable modems. Furthermore, our access line count decreased by approximately 10,000 lines during the six months ended June 30, 2005. We may continue to experience net access line loss in our markets for an unforeseen period of time. In addition, in our largest market, Cox Communications, the incumbent local cable television operator, began offering an alternate local telephone service in November 2004. As a result, we have recently experienced, and expect to continue to experience, on average, a higher rate of access line loss during the initial launch of service by this competitor than we have experienced in the past. Our inability to retain access lines could adversely affect our revenues, earnings and cash flow from operations.

Rapid and significant changes in technology in the telecommunications industry could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively in the markets in which we operate.

     The rapid introduction and development of enhanced or alternative services that are more cost effective, more efficient or more technologically advanced than the services we offer is a significant source of potential competition in the telecommunications industry. Technological developments may reduce the competitiveness of our networks, make our service offerings less attractive or require expensive and time-consuming capital improvements. If we fail to adapt successfully to technological changes or fail to obtain timely access to important new technologies, we could lose customers and have difficulty attracting new customers or selling new services to our existing customers.

     We cannot predict the impact of technological changes on our competitive position, profitability or industry. Wireless and cable technologies that have emerged in recent years provide certain advantages over traditional wireline voice and data services. The mobility afforded by wireless voice services and its competitive pricing appeal to many customers. The ability of cable television providers to offer voice, video and data services as an integrated package provides an attractive alternative to traditional voice services from local exchange carriers. In addition, as the emerging VoIP services develop, some customers may be able to bypass network access charges. Increased penetration rates for these technologies in our markets could cause our revenues to decline.

The competitive nature of the telecommunications industry could adversely affect our revenues, results of operations and profitability.

     The telecommunications industry is very competitive. Increased competition could lead to price reductions, declining sales volumes, loss of market share, higher marketing costs and reduced operating margins. Significant and potentially larger competitors could enter our

markets at any time. For example, wireless providers currently compete in most of our rural markets. We expect this competition to continue, and likely become more intense, in the future. We also compete, or may in the future compete, with companies that provide other close substitutes for the traditional telephone services we provide, like cable television, VoIP, high-speed fiber optic networks or satellite telecommunications services, and companies that might provide traditional telephone services over nontraditional network infrastructures, like electric utilities. In our largest market, Broken Arrow, OK, Cox Communications, the incumbent local cable television operator, has begun offering cable telephone service. As a result, we have recently experienced, and expect to continue to experience, on average, a higher rate of access line loss during the initial launch of service by this competitor than we have experienced in the past.

Weak economic conditions may decrease demand for our services.

     We are sensitive to economic conditions and downturns in the economy. Downturns in the economies in the markets we serve could cause our existing customers to reduce their purchases of our basic and enhanced services and make it difficult for us to obtain new customers.

We depend on a few key vendors and suppliers to conduct our business and any disruption in our relationship with any one or more of them could adversely affect our results of operations.

     We rely on vendors and suppliers to support many of our administrative functions and to enable us to provide long distance services. For example, we currently outsource much of our operational support services to ALLTEL, including our billing and customer care services. Transitioning these support services to another provider could take a significant period of time and involve substantial costs. In addition, we have resale agreements with MCI and Sprint to provide our long distance transmission services. Replacing these resale agreements could be difficult as there are a limited number of national long distance providers. Any disruptions in our relationship with these third party providers could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.

Disruption in our networks and infrastructure may cause us to lose customers and incur additional expenses.

     To be successful, we will need to continue to provide our customers with reliable service over our networks. Some of the risks to our networks and infrastructure include: physical damage to access lines, breaches of security, capacity limitations, power surges or outages, software defects and disruptions beyond our control, such as natural disasters and acts of terrorism.

     From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we experience short disruptions in our service due to factors such as cable damage, inclement weather and service failures of our third party service providers. We cannot assure you that we will not experience more significant disruptions in the future. Disruptions may cause interruptions in service or reduced capacity for customers, either of which could cause us to lose customers and incur expenses, and thereby adversely affect our business, revenue and cash flow.

Recent difficulties in the telecommunications industry could negatively impact our revenues and results of operations.

     We originate and terminate long distance phone calls on our networks for other interexchange carriers, some of which are our largest customers in terms of revenues. In the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, we generated 16.3% and 15.8%, respectively, of our total revenues from originating and terminating phone calls for interexchange carriers. Several of these interexchange carriers have declared bankruptcy during the past two years or are experiencing substantial financial difficulties. MCI WorldCom (now MCI), which declared bankruptcy in 2002, is one of the major interexchange carriers with which we conduct business. We recorded a net $1.6 million charge due to MCI’s failure to pay amounts owed to us. Further bankruptcies or disruptions in the businesses of these interexchange carriers could have an adverse effect on our financial results and cash flows.

Regulatory Risks

We received 23.7% of our 2004 revenues from the Texas and federal Universal Service Funds and any adverse regulatory developments with respect to these funds could curtail our profitability.

     We receive Texas and federal Universal Service Fund, or USF, revenues to support the high cost of providing affordable telecommunications services in rural markets. Such support payments constituted 23.7% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 23.3% of our revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Of these support payments, in the year ended December 31, 2004, $102.0 million, or 20.1% of our revenues, and in the six months ended June 30, 2005, $50.1 million, or 19.9% of our revenues, were received from the Texas USF. In addition, we are required to make contributions to the Texas USF and federal USF each year. Current state and federal regulations allow us to recover these costs by including a surcharge on our customers’ bills. Furthermore, we incur no incremental costs associated with the support payments we receive or the contributions we are required to make. Thus, if Texas and/or federal regulations changed and we were unable to receive support, such support was reduced, or we are unable to recover the amounts we contribute to the Texas USF and federal USF from our customers, our earnings and cash flow from operations would be directly and adversely affected.

     The rules governing USF could be altered or amended as a result of regulatory, legislative or judicial action and impact the amount of USF support that we receive and our ability to recover our USF contributions by assessing surcharges on our customers’ bills. For example, the enabling statute for the Texas USF currently is under legislative review and may be modified. Similarly, in June 2004, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, asked the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service to review the federal rules relating to universal service support mechanisms for rural carriers, including addressing the relevant costs and the definition of “rural telephone company.” It is not possible to predict at this time whether state or federal regulators, Congress or state legislatures will order modification to those rules or statutes, or the ultimate impact any such modification might have on us.

     In addition, the Texas USF rules provide that the Public Utility Commission of Texas must open an investigation within 90 days after any changes are made to the federal USF. Therefore, changes to the federal USF may prompt similar or conforming changes to the Texas USF. The outcome of any of these legislative or regulatory changes could affect the amount of Texas USF support that we receive, and could have an adverse effect on our business, revenue or profitability.

Reductions in the amount of network access revenue that we receive could negatively impact our results of operations.

     In the year ended December 31, 2004, we derived $126.8 million, or 25.0% of our revenues, and in the six months ended June 30, 2005, we derived $60.4 million, or 24.0% of our revenues, from network access charges. Our network access revenue consists of (1) usage sensitive fees we charge to long distance companies for access to our network in connection with the completion of interstate and intrastate long distance calls, (2) fees charged for use of dedicated circuits and (3) end user fees, which are monthly flat-rate charges assessed on access lines. Federal and state regulatory commissions set these access charges, and they could change the amount of the charges or the manner in which they are charged at any time. The FCC is currently examining proposals to revise interstate access charges and other intercarrier compensation. The outcome of this proceeding is uncertain and could result in significant changes to the way in which we receive compensation from our customers. Also, as people in our markets decide to use Internet, wireless or cable television providers for their local or long distance calling needs, rather than using our wireline network, the reduction in the number of access lines or minutes of use over our network could reduce the amount of access revenue we collect. As penetration rates for these technologies increase in rural markets, our revenues could decline. In addition, if our customers take advantage of favorable calling plans offered by wireless carriers for their long distance calling needs, it could reduce the number of long distance calls made over our network, thereby decreasing our access revenue. Furthermore, the emerging technology application known as Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, can be used to carry voice communications services over a broadband Internet connection. The FCC has ruled that some VoIP arrangements are not subject to regulation as telephone services. Recently, the FCC ruled that certain VoIP services are jurisdictionally interstate, and preempted the ability of the states to regulate such VoIP applications or providers. The FCC has pending a proceeding that will address the applicability of various regulatory requirements to VoIP providers, however, we cannot assure you that this proceeding will result in VoIP providers having to pay access charges. Expanded use of VoIP technology could reduce the access revenues received by local exchange carriers like us. We cannot predict whether or when VoIP may be required to pay or be entitled to receive access charges or universal service fund support, or the extent to which users will substitute VoIP calls for traditional wireline communications or the effect of the growth of VoIP on our revenues.

The introduction of new competitors or the better positioning of existing competitors due to regulatory changes could cause us to lose customers and impede our ability to attract new customers.

     Changes in regulations that open our markets to more competitors offering substitute services could impact our profitability because of increases in the costs of attracting and

retaining customers and decreases in revenues due to lost customers and the need to offer competitive prices. We face competition from current and potential market entrants, including:

	•		domestic and international long distance providers seeking to enter, reenter or expand entry into the local telecommunications marketplace;
	•		other domestic and international competitive telecommunications providers, wireless carriers, resellers, cable television companies and electric utilities; and
	•		providers of broadband and Internet services.

     Regulatory requirements designed to facilitate the introduction of competition, the applicability of different regulatory requirements between our competitors and us, or decisions by legislators or regulators to exempt certain providers or technologies from the same level of regulation that we face, could adversely impact our market position and our ability to offer competitive alternatives.

     In November 2003, the FCC ordered us and other local exchange carriers to adopt wireline-to-wireless local number portability. This may help wireless carriers compete against us because if customers switch from traditional local telephone service to wireless service, they can now transfer their local telephone number to their wireless provider. On remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the FCC is examining the impact of the rules on “small entities,” which by definition includes Valor. Pending completion of this review, the court stayed the impact of the wireline-to-wireless porting rules on small entities. In addition, federal and state regulators and courts are addressing many aspects of our obligations to provide unbundled network elements and discounted wholesale rates to competitors.

New regulations and changes in existing regulations may force us to incur significant expenses.

     Our business may also be impacted by legislation and regulation that impose new or greater obligations related to assisting law enforcement, bolstering homeland security, minimizing environmental impacts or addressing other issues that impact our business. For example, existing provisions of the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, and FCC regulations implementing CALEA require telecommunications carriers to ensure that their equipment, facilities, and services are able to facilitate authorized electronic surveillance. On August 4, 2004, in response to a joint petition filed by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FCC launched a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing a thorough examination of the appropriate legal and policy framework of CALEA. In this proceeding, the FCC will examine issues relating to the scope of CALEA’s applicability to services such as broadband Internet access, as well as implementation and enforcement issues. We cannot predict the eventual outcome of this proceeding or what compliance with any rules adopted by the FCC may cost. Similarly, we cannot predict whether or when federal or state legislators or regulators might impose new security, environmental or other obligations on our business.

A reduction by a state regulatory body or the FCC of the rates we charge our customers would reduce our revenues, earnings and cash flow from operations.

     The prices, terms and conditions of the services that we offer to local telephone customers are subject to state regulatory approval. If a state regulatory body orders us to reduce a price, withdraws our approval to charge a certain price, changes material terms or conditions of a service we offer or refuses to approve or limits our ability to offer a new or existing service, our revenues, earnings and cash flow from operations may be reduced.

     FCC regulations also affect the rates that are charged to customers. The FCC regulates tariffs for interstate access and subscriber line charges, both of which are components of our revenues. The FCC currently is considering proposals to reduce interstate access charges for carriers like us. If the FCC lowers interstate access charges without adopting an adequate revenue replacement mechanism, we may be required to recover more revenue through subscriber line charges and Universal Service Funds or forego this revenue altogether. This could reduce our revenue or impair our competitive position.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation that could change in a manner adverse to us.

     We operate in a heavily regulated industry, and most of our revenues come from providing services regulated by the FCC and the state public utility commissions. Federal and state communications laws may be amended in the future, and other laws may affect our business. The FCC and the state public utility commissions may add new rules, amend their rules or change the interpretation of their rules at any time. Laws and regulations applicable to us and our competitors may be, and have been, challenged in the courts, and could be changed at any time. We cannot predict future developments or changes to the regulatory environment, or the impact such developments or changes would have on us.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and Senior Debt

Our dividend policy may limit our ability to pursue growth opportunities.

     Our board of directors has adopted a dividend policy that reflects an intention to distribute a substantial portion of the cash generated by our business in excess of operating needs, interest and principal payments on our indebtedness and capital expenditures as regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to finance growth opportunities or to fund our operations in the event of a significant business downturn. In addition, because a significant portion of cash available to pay dividends is distributed to holders of our common stock under our dividend policy, our ability to pursue any material expansion of our business, including through acquisitions, increased capital spending or other increases of our expenditures, depends more than it otherwise would on our ability to obtain third party financing. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available to us at all, or at an acceptable cost.

You may not receive any dividends.

     We are not obligated to pay dividends. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and are within the absolute discretion of our board of directors. Future dividends with respect to shares

of our common stock, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we have reported a loss from continuing operations in the past.

     We might not generate sufficient cash from operations in the future to pay dividends on our common stock in the intended amounts or at all. Our board of directors may decide not to pay dividends at any time and for any reason. Our dividend policy is based upon our directors’ current assessment of our business and the environment in which we operate, and that assessment could change based on competitive or technological developments (which could, for example, increase our need for capital expenditures), new growth opportunities or other factors. If our cash flows from operations for future periods were to fall below our minimum expectations, we would need either to reduce or eliminate dividends or, to the extent permitted under the terms of our senior credit facility, fund a portion of our dividends with borrowings or from other sources. If we were to use working capital or permanent borrowings to fund dividends, we would have less cash and/or borrowing capacity available for future dividends and other purposes, which could negatively affect our financial condition, our results of operations, our liquidity and our ability to maintain or expand our business. Our board is free to depart from or change our dividend policy at any time and could do so, for example, if it were to determine that we had insufficient cash to take advantage of growth opportunities. In addition, our senior credit facility contains, and any agreement we enter into in the future to refinance this indebtedness may contain, limitations on our ability to pay dividends.

Our substantial indebtedness could restrict our ability to pay dividends and impact our financing options and liquidity position.

     As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $1.2 billion of total debt outstanding. The degree to which we are leveraged on a consolidated basis could have important consequences to the holders of our common stock, including:

	•		it may be more difficult to pay dividends on our common stock;
	•		our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions may be limited;
	•		we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us or at all;
	•		a significant portion of our cash flow from operations is likely to be dedicated to the payment of the principal of and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for other corporate purposes; and
	•		our substantial indebtedness may make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures.

We are subject to restrictive debt covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on our operations and could limit our ability to grow our business.

     Covenants in our senior credit facility impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions prohibit or limit, among other things:

	•		the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock and certain redeemable capital stock;
	•		the payment of dividends on, and the repurchase of, capital stock;
	•		a number of other restricted payments, including investments and acquisitions;
	•		specified sales of assets;
	•		specified transactions with affiliates;
	•		the creation of a number of liens;
	•		consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets; and
	•		our ability to change the nature of our business.

     These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions, withstand downturns in our business or take advantage of business opportunities. Furthermore, our senior credit facility requires us to maintain specified total leverage and interest coverage ratios and to satisfy specified financial condition tests, and under certain circumstances requires us to make quarterly mandatory prepayments with a portion of our available cash.

If we fail to comply with the restrictive covenants in our senior credit facility, our senior lenders may accelerate the payment of indebtedness outstanding under our senior credit facility.

     The terms of our senior credit facility include several restrictive covenants that prohibit us from prepaying our other indebtedness while indebtedness under the facility is outstanding. Our senior credit facility will also require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy financial condition tests. Our ability to comply with the ratios or tests may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions.

     A breach of any of these covenants, ratios or tests could result in a default under our senior credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our senior credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay or refinance those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the security granted to them to secure that indebtedness. If the lenders accelerate the payment of the indebtedness, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full this indebtedness.

We are a holding company with no operations, and unless we receive dividends and other payments or distributions, advances and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries, we will be unable to meet our debt service and other obligations.

     We are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries. We currently have no significant assets other than equity interests in our subsidiaries. As a result, we will rely on dividends and other payments or distributions from our subsidiaries to meet our debt service obligations and enable us to pay dividends. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to us will depend on their respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of their jurisdiction of organization (which may limit the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends), agreements of those subsidiaries, the terms of our senior credit facility (under which the equity interests of our subsidiaries will be pledged), and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur.

Our interest expense may increase significantly and could cause our net income and distributable cash to decline significantly.

     Our senior credit facility is subject to periodic renewal or must otherwise be refinanced. We may not be able to renew or refinance the credit facility, or if renewed or refinanced, the renewal or refinancing may occur on less favorable terms, including higher interest rates. Borrowings under the facility are made at a floating rate of interest. In the event of an increase in the base reference interest rates, our interest expense will increase and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to make cash dividend payments to our stockholders. Our ability to continue to expand our business will, to a large extent, be dependent upon our ability to borrow funds under our senior credit facility and to obtain other third party financing, including through the sale of common stock or other securities. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

Limitations on use of our net operating losses may negatively affect our ability to pay dividends to you.

     Because certain of our subsidiaries may have had an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of our reorganization that occurred immediately prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, the use of our current net operating losses to offset our taxable income for taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the ownership change will be limited pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we may have another “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code subsequent to the initial public offering if, under certain circumstances, our existing equity holders were to sell within a three-year period all (or most) of our common stock that they received in our reorganization. If we do experience another ownership change, we may be further limited, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, in using our then-current net operating losses to offset taxable income for taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the second ownership change. Consequently, in the future we may be required to pay increased cash income taxes because of the Section 382 limitations on our ability to use our net operating losses. Increase cash taxes would reduce our after-tax cash flow available for payment of dividends on our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. All sale proceeds will be received by the Selling Stockholders. However, to the extent that a Selling Stockholder or any eligible employee exercises options to purchase shares of Common Stock that are sold under the Registration Statement of which this Reoffer Prospectus forms a part, we will receive the proceeds from the exercise of those options. We expect to use the proceeds from the exercise of those options for working capital purposes. Specific determinations will be made at the respective times that the exercises occur.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     The 7,760 shares of our Common Stock to which this Reoffer Prospectus relates are restricted Common Stock granted under the Plan to the employees listed below. The Selling Stockholders may resell all, a portion, or none of the shares of Common Stock from time to time subject to the Securities Act. All information contained in the table below is based upon information provided to us by the Selling Stockholders, and we have not independently verified

this information. Each Selling stockholder holds less than one percent of our Common Stock outstanding as of August 22, 2005. The Selling Stockholders are not making any representation that any shares covered by the Reoffer Prospectus will be offered for sale.

     Information regarding the Selling Stockholders, including the number of shares offered for sale, may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the extent required. The address of each Selling Stockholder is care of Valor Communications Group, Inc. 201 E. John Carpenter Freeway, Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75062.

     Any Selling Stockholder may from time to time sell under this Reoffer Prospectus any or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it. Because the Selling Stockholders are not obligated to sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock they hold, we cannot estimate the number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Stockholder will beneficially own after this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares from time to time on the New York Stock Exchange, or otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Stockholders expect to employ brokers or dealers in order to sell the Shares. Brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders or from purchasers in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions and discounts are not expected to deviate from usual brokers’ commissions. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders expect to employ, utilize or otherwise engage any finders to assist in the sales of the Shares.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Delaware. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. The certificates of incorporation of the Delaware registrants include a provision that eliminates the personal liability

II — 1

of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for liability for breach of duty of loyalty; for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful dividends and stock repurchases); or for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit.

     The certificates of incorporation of the Delaware registrants provide that these registrants must indemnify their directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

     The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our by laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     Valor Communications Group, Inc. maintains insurance to protect itself and its directors and, officers and those of its subsidiaries against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not it would have the power to indemnify them against such expense, liability or loss under applicable law.

     Texas. Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the “TBCA”) provides that a director of a Texas corporation may be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which he was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant by reason of his position as director or officer, provided that he conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that, in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer of the corporation, such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; and, in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests. If a director is found liable to the corporation or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the person, the indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding and shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. In the case of a criminal proceeding, a director or officer may be indemnified only if he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If a director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in connection with such a proceeding, such indemnification is mandatory.

     The TBCA further provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation, and to those who are not or were not officers, employees or agents but who are or were serving at the request of the corporation, to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to directors.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

     Reference is made to the Exhibit Index that immediately precedes the exhibits filed with this Registration Statement.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

	(i)		To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
	(ii)		To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
	(iii)		To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

	(2)		That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
	(3)		To remove from registration means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the

II — 3

			Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of any employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
	(c)		Insofar as the indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of express expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II — 4
