PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

This proxy statement is provided to shareholders of UCN, Inc. in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders and any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting. The annual meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., on June 13, 2006, at 14870 Pony Express Road, Bluffdale, Utah.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

When were proxy materials mailed?

This proxy statement and proxy card were first mailed on or about May 12, 2006 to owners of voting shares of UCN in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for the 2006 annual meeting of Shareholders in Bluffdale, Utah. Our annual report was sent with the proxy statement, but it is not part of the proxy statement. Proxies are solicited to give all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 9, 2006 an opportunity to vote on matters that come before the annual meeting. This procedure is necessary because shareholders live in all U.S. states and abroad and most will not be able to attend.

What am I voting on?

The Board is soliciting your vote for:

•

election of five directors;

•

ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of independent auditors; and

•

action upon such other matters, including shareholder proposals, as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

Shareholders of record at the close of business on May 9, 2006, the record date, are entitled to vote on matters that come before the meeting. Shares can be voted only if the shareholder is present in person or is represented by proxy.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of UCN common stock that you own as of the record date entitles you to one vote. On May 9, 2006 there were 23,119,669 outstanding shares of our common stock.

How do I vote?

All shareholders may vote by mail. To vote by mail, please sign, date, and mail your proxy card in the envelope provided.

If you own your shares through a bank or broker, you should follow the separate instructions they provide you. Although most banks and brokers now offer telephone and Internet voting, availability and specific processes will depend on their voting arrangements.

If you attend the annual meeting in person, you may request a ballot when you arrive and vote at the meeting.

What if I return my proxy but do not mark it to show how I am voting?

If your proxy card is signed and returned without specifying your choices, the shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

What if other items come up at the annual meeting and I am not there to vote?

When you return a signed and dated proxy card, you give the persons specified as proxies the discretionary authority to vote on your behalf on any other matter that is properly brought before the annual meeting.

Can I change my vote?

You can change your vote by revoking your proxy at any time before it is exercised in one of three ways:

•

notify our Corporate Secretary in writing before the annual meeting that you are revoking your proxy;

•

submit another proxy with a later date; or

•

vote in person at the annual meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

Your shares are likely registered differently or are in more than one account. You should vote each of your accounts. If you mail your proxy cards, please sign, date, and return each proxy card to guarantee that all of your shares are voted. If you wish to combine your shareholder accounts in the future, you should contact our transfer agent, Atlas Stock Transfer Company, at 1-801-266-7151. Combining accounts reduces excess printing and mailing costs, resulting in savings for us that benefits you as a shareholder.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence of the owners of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting constitutes a quorum. Presence may be in person or by proxy. You will be considered part of the quorum if you return a signed and dated proxy card or if you vote at the annual meeting.

Abstentions and shares voted by a broker or bank holding shares for a beneficial owner are counted as present and entitled to vote for determining a quorum.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors: Each of the five director positions is voted on separately. The persons who receive the most votes for each of the five director positions will be elected. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention or otherwise) have no impact on the vote.

Ratification of Independent Auditors: This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention or otherwise) have no impact on the vote.

What are the Board’s Recommendations?

The Board recommends a vote FOR Election of Directors and Ratification of Independent Auditors.

How were the nominees for director selected?

Each of the five nominees now serve as a director and was approved for inclusion on our slate of directors by the entire Board. All five of the nominees were elected by our shareholders as directors at our June 2005 annual meeting and are standing for re-election. Mr. Stern is Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Jarman is currently our chief executive officer.

How does the Board determine which directors are independent?

The Board applies the definition of independence adopted by Nasdaq for determining independence of our directors.

Pursuant to these standards, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence in February 2006. During this review the Board broadly considered all relevant facts and circumstances, not merely from the standpoint of a director but also from that of persons or organizations with which a director has a relationship. As a result of this review, our Board affirmatively determined that all of the directors nominated for election at our 2006 annual meeting, other than our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Stern, and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jarman, are independent and have no material relationship with us.

How can I recommend a candidate for election to the Board?

Shareholders who wish to recommend a candidate for election to our Board should write to: Corporate Secretary, UCN, Inc. 14870 Pony Express Road, Bluffdale, Utah 84065, stating in detail the qualifications of a candidate for consideration by the Board. In considering Board candidates, the Board seeks individuals of proven judgment and competence who are outstanding in their respective fields. The Board considers such factors as experience, education, employment history, special talents or personal attributes, anticipated participation in Board activities, and geographic and diversity factors. The process for identifying and evaluating nominees would include detailed consideration of the recommendations and opinions of members of our Board, our executive officers, and our shareholders. There would be no difference in the process of evaluation of candidates recommended by a shareholder and those recommended by other sources.

How can I communicate with our Board?

Shareholders interested in communicating directly with our Board may do so by writing to: Board of Directors, UCN, Inc. 14870 Pony Express Road, Bluffdale, Utah 84065. All such written correspondence is delivered to the director or directors to whom it is addressed or, if addressed generally to the Board, to all directors. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters are immediately forwarded to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and chairman of the Audit Committee.

How do I access proxy materials on the Internet?

Shareholders can access our Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and our 2005 Annual Report on the Internet at our website at www.ucn.net.

How do I submit a shareholder proposal for next year’s annual meeting?

Shareholder proposals may be submitted for inclusion in our 2007 proxy statement after the 2006 annual meeting, but must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. MST on Friday, January 15, 2007. Proposals should be sent via registered, certified, or express mail to: Corporate Secretary, UCN, Inc. 14870 Pony Express Road, Bluffdale, Utah 84065.

As to any proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, but is instead sought to be presented directly at the meeting, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules permit management to vote proxies in its discretion if: (1) we receive notice of the proposal before the close of business on January 15, 2007, and advise shareholders in the proxy statement about the nature and how management intends to vote on such matter; or (2) we do not receive notice of the proposal prior to the close of business on January 15, 2007.

Where can I find more information on UCN?

Our corporate website is http://www.ucn.net. We make available on this website, free of charge, access to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A and amendments to those materials filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically submit such material

to the Securities Exchange Commission. The Commission makes available on its website, free of charge, reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the Commission. The Commission’s website is http://www.sec.gov.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Proposal No. 1 on Proxy Card)

At the annual meeting, all UCN directors will be elected to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in the year 2007. The Board nominates for election as directors:


Theodore Stern		Steve Barnett		Paul F. Koeppe		Blake O. Fisher, Jr.		Paul Jarman

These nominees have been selected by the Board. If you do not wish your shares to be voted for particular nominees, please identify the exceptions in the manner stated on the proxy card. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Any shares not voted, whether by abstention or otherwise, have no impact on the vote.

Set forth below under the caption “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS,” is information on the age, presently held positions with UCN, principal occupation now and for the past five years, other directorships in public companies, and tenure of service with UCN as a director, for each of the nominees.

Although it is anticipated that each nominee will be able to serve as a director, should any nominee become unavailable to serve, the proxies will be voted for such other person or persons as may be designated by our Board.

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT BY THE AUDIT

COMMITTEE OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

(Proposal No. 2 on Proxy Card)

The Audit Committee has selected and appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditors to examine our financial statements for the year 2006. Deloitte & Touche LLP audited our financial statements for 2005 and 2004. Our Board recommends that our shareholders vote FOR ratification of the appointment. Ratification of the appointment of auditors requires a majority of the votes cast. Any shares not voted, whether by abstention or otherwise, have no impact on the vote. We do not expect representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will attend the annual meeting.

Accountant Fees And Services

The aggregate fees and expenses billed by our principal accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, for fees and expenses billed during fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows (in thousands):


	2005		2004

Total audit and related fees		142		149

Tax fees		54		44

Total fees	$	227	$	216

Audit related fees were for reviews of our filings on Form 10-Q for 2005 and 2004, meetings with the Audit Committee, and work required by our filing registration statements.

Each of the permitted non-audit services has been pre-approved by the Audit Committee or the Audit Committee’s Chairman pursuant to delegated authority by the Audit Committee, other than de minimus non-audit services for which the pre-approval requirements are waived in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee will pre-approve audit services and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors before the accountant is engaged to render these services. The Audit Committee may consult with management in the decision-making process, but may not delegate this authority to management. The Audit Committee may delegate its authority to pre-approve services to one or more committee members, provided that the designees present the pre-approvals to the full committee at the next committee meeting.

Changes in Accountants

On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors of UCN, Inc. terminated the engagement of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC as UCN’s independent accountants on July 22, 2004.

In connection with its audit for the year ended December 31, 2003, and through July 22, 2004, there were no disagreements with Crowe Chizek and Company LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. The audit reports of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC for the year ended December 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

In connection with UCN’s audit for the year ended December 31, 2003, and through July 22, 2004, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

UCN engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent accountants as of July 22, 2004. During the two prior fiscal years and through July 22, 2004, neither UCN nor anyone on behalf of UCN consulted with Deloitte & Touche regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on UCN’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events required to be disclosed under Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Report of the Compensation Committee

The following Report of the Compensation Committee and the performance graph included elsewhere in this report do not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report or the performance graph by reference therein.

The Compensation Committee of the Board reviews the following information as part of their committee meetings:

Base salaries

As in the past, during fiscal year 2005 salaries for executive officers took into consideration a variety of factors, including:

•

the nature and responsibility of the position;

•

the experience of the individual executive;

•

budgetary constraints; and

•

(except in the case of their own compensation) the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Kevin Childs is the only executive with an employment agreement that was in place at December 31, 2005. Salaries are determined annually based on a subjective analysis of the factors listed above rather than on any fixed formula or schedule.

Paul Jarman’s salary was increased to $170,000 in 2005 from $149,746 in 2004 primarily on the basis of the Committee’s own assessment of the scope of Mr. Jarman’s increased responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer and the quality of his leadership in promoting strategic growth.

Long-term compensation

During 2005 and 2003, executives were granted stock options for future service as listed in the Annual Compensation table below. No long term compensation was granted to executive officers in 2004. As noted below, various executives have been granted options that vest in future periods.

This value is determined on the basis of the difference between the fair market value of the securities underlying the options at December 31, 2005, and the exercise price. The fair market value of UCN’s common stock at December 31, 2005 is determined by the last sale price on that date, which was $1.77 per share.

Description of Long Term Stock Incentive Plan

The purpose of the Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide directors, officers, employees, and consultants with additional incentives by increasing their ownership interests in UCN. Directors, officers, and other employees of UCN and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan. In addition, awards may be granted to consultants providing valuable services to UCN. As of December 31, 2005, UCN and its affiliates employed approximately 181 individuals who are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Board grants awards under the Plan. Awards may include incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, or cash awards.

The Board has discretion to determine the terms of an award under the Plan, including the type of award, number of shares or units covered by the award, option price, term, vesting schedule, and post-termination exercise period or payment. Notwithstanding this discretion: (i) the number of shares subject to an award granted to any individual in any calendar year may not exceed 100,000 shares; (ii) the option price per share of common stock may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of such share at the time of grant or less than 110 percent of the fair market value of such shares if the option is an incentive stock option granted to a stockholder owning more than ten percent of the combined voting power of all classes of the stock of UCN (a “10% stockholder”); and (iii) the term of any incentive stock option may not exceed 10 years, or five years if the option is granted to a 10% stockholder. As of December 31, 2005, awards under the Plan in the form of qualified incentive stock options outstanding and exercised totaled 1,004,384 shares.

A maximum of 1,200,000 shares of common stock may be subject to outstanding awards, determined immediately after the grant of any award under the Plan. Shares of common stock, which are attributable to awards that have expired, terminated, or been canceled or forfeited during any calendar year, are available for issuance or use in connection with future awards.

The Plan was effective March 11, 1999, and is not limited in duration. No incentive stock option may be granted more than 10 years after the effective date. The Plan may be amended by the Board without the consent of the stockholders, except that stockholder approval is required for any amendment that materially increases the aggregate number of shares of stock that may be issued under the plan or materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan.

Description of Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 2004 UCN adopted the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The purpose of the Purchase Plan is to promote UCN’s operating performance and growth potential by encouraging employees to acquire equity in UCN, thereby aligning their long-term interests with those of UCN. The Purchase Plan provides that up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock may be sold to participating employees. It expires at the beginning of 2014. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the Purchase Plan.

The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase UCN common stock through payroll deductions during 35 consecutive participation periods beginning in 2005. Each participation period is three months in length. In general, eligible employees can elect for each participation period to purchase full shares through payroll deductions of up to 10 percent of base pay, but in no event may the participant’s rights to purchase shares of common stock accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of common stock in a calendar year. The purchase price a participant pays for the shares is equal to the greater of $2.00 or 85 percent of the closing market bid price of the common stock on the first business day or the last business day of each participation period, whichever is lower. This percentage may be changed prior to a participation period by at the sole discretion of, the committee administering the Purchase Plan to any whole percentage that is not less than 85 percent and not greater than 100 percent.

Eligibility to participate is extended to all regular employees of UCN and its participating subsidiaries. Officers and members of the Board of Directors who are eligible employees are also permitted to participate. An employee is ineligible to participate if immediately after a grant the employee would own stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of UCN.

The Purchase Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors from time to time as it deems desirable without approval of the stockholders of the UCN, except to the extent stockholder approval is required by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, applicable Nasdaq or stock exchange rules, applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, or other applicable laws or regulations. The Board of Directors may terminate the plan at any time in its sole discretion.
