EXHIBIT 31.2
                              CERTIFICATION

     Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350, As Adopted Pursuant to Section
302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002:

     1.   I have reviewed this 10-QSB of Riverbend Telecom, Inc.

     2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by this report.

     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this report, fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows of the small business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented
in this report.

     4.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I
are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and have:

          (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
     caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
     our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
     small business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
     made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
     during the period in which this report is being prepared;

          (b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting,
     or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
     designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
     regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
     of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles;

          (c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's
     disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
     conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
     procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based
     on such evaluation; and

          (d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the small business
     issuer's internal control over financial reporting that occurred
     during the small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the
     small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
     annual report) that has materially affected, or its reasonably
     likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's internal
     control over financial reporting; and

     5.   The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I
have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
over financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the
audit committee of the small business issuer's board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent functions):

          (a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
     the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
     which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business
     issuer's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
     information; and

          (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
     management or other employees who have a significant role in the
     small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
