Can't make phone calls = stalled

I have begun playing the game fout imes now and following the Strategy Guide to the letter and following Gameboomers as well. Then I uninstalled the game and started again. I still cannot call the Avalanche Patrol about Chicken Ridge, nor can I call Chantel, Carl Jenkins, Farindale, Derek, etc. when appropriate or any other time. I've gone beyond that time in various ways and come back to the phone...nothing! I can't get the snowmobile key from Ollie either. Any suggestions other than forgetting about the game altogether??

The phone numbers should be listed there by the phone at the front desk or in Nancy's journal. Dial the area code + phone number. You do not need to dial a '1' or '9' first.

After speaking with the Avalanche Patrol then you will be able to get the snowmobile key from Ollie. You won't be able to do so until after speaking with the Avalanche Patrol because Nancy needs to pass some info on to Ollie.
