Community Phone works by connecting the landline phones of Dallas residents to cell towers. And Dallas is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Dallas, covering 341 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Dallas to provide strong coverage across the city.
