Community Phone's future-proof service can ensure your landline sticks around even after the FCC shutdown

All copper-cable landlines in the US are being shut down permanently on August 2nd, 2022.
All copper-cable landlines in the US are eligible to be shut down permanently on August 2nd, 2022.

Everything you need to know about FCC Order 19-72A1

After decades of neglect from traditional carriers, all copper-cable landlines across the US will be eligible to be shut off on August 2nd, 2022 by order of the FCC.

Some carriers are offering to transition their customers to VoIP—an internet-based phone system—while others have already stopped servicing their landline users altogether, citing rising maintenance costs as their reason to kick loyal customers to the curb. FCC Order 19-72A1 simply makes official what has already been happening in many communities.

How it works

Community Phone offers unlimited local and long-distance calling by connecting your landline phone to cell phone towers in your area

Our landline base connects with any phone, you can use your existing landline phone or can buy a new one from us (Available on the checkout).

The landline base is the device that powers the service by connecting your landline phone to cell towers in your area.

Our landline base connects with local cell towers. That means you can take it anywhere with cell service (not just your home!).

Setup in two easy steps

1. Plug our landline base into a power outlet.

2. Plug a phone (yours or purchased from us) into the phone jack on our landline base. Installation is that easy!

“This was as painless as anything I've ever done. Even for a non-tech person, I plugged it in and it worked.”

Never miss another phone call

Ring multiple phones at the same time, or one-after-another, from a single call to your landline number.

Why traditional and internet service providers are not reliable

Traditional landline service providers

Are phasing out their landline service across the country
Require you to “bundle” your home phone with expensive internet and cable service
Don’t provide helpful, accessible support

Internet phone (VoIP) service providers

Require you to have fast, reliable internet
Don’t work during a power outage
Lack the privacy and security of traditional phone service

“I was trying to get my mother set up in an apartment by herself. She doesn't use internet so I just needed a basic phone set up for her, and this landline service provided exactly what I wanted at an affordable price.”

Covers 99% of the United States

We have partnered with the largest nationwide carriers to provide strong coverage even in the most rural areas
Built-in antennas on the landline base to strengthen signal in areas with poor reception
Crystal clear sound quality
Backup battery to keep you connected during power outages

30-day risk-free guarantee. Lifetime peace of mind.

Give our landline service a try. If you're not convinced it's the right solution for you, just send it back and get a full refund on your entire order. No commitment. No questions asked.

Ditch your contract with traditional providers

Traditional landline service providers are raising rates and cutting their landline service in cities across the country. Community Phone offers flexible, reliable landline service without restrictive contracts.

“My parents loved it. My parents were not comfortable using cell phones, and I wanted to give them a landline, but they didn't have an internet connection. And then I came across Community Phone's landline service. It was very easy for my parents to set it up without any hassle of the internet or copper cables. My parents are absolutely enjoying the quality landline calls that they used to have.”

“So glad that I got rid of my old provider.. I was paying too much for my landline plan with AT&T. But I didn't want to give up my landline, so I was looking for alternatives and I found Community Phone. Which is way cheaper than these giant telecoms. The great thing about Community Phone was that I didn't have to do anything, they handled the switch from AT&T and ported my number as well.”

“Loved the personal service
I signed up with Community Phone about two months ago on the basis of cost and other technical aspects of their offer. The thing that impressed us most, however, was the cordial, personal service that came along with it. When there was a small problem getting us connected up, they were immediately available to clear things up and make sure that everything was working smoothly. Much appreciated.”

About Community Phone

James Graham, Founder & CEO

We fight to keep the landline alive

I started Community Phone to build a different kind of landline phone service company.

We don’t nickel and dime you with hidden fees. We make it easy for you to actually reach a real person when you have a problem.

We don’t tie you up in long contracts, or discontinue your service when it’s no longer “profitable” to serve you with copper wire service. And we don’t require you to have fast, reliable internet, just to make a call.

I built Community Phone to make it easy, safe, and reliable to stay connected with your family and friends.

If that sounds like what you’re looking for from your landline phone company, then you're at the right place. We’d love to have you as part of our Community.
