Florida’s landlines are being retired
AT&T is shutting down parts of its landline network in at least 183 Florida phone service areas. By the end of 2029, it plans to mostly phase out its traditional phone lines across the U.S.* Community Phone is a home phone that just works, without phone lines or internet. Plug it in, listen for the dial tone, and start making calls.

Built for Florida
Every hurricane season puts Florida’s power at risk. In 2022, Hurricane Ian alone cut power to 2.7 million Florida homes and businesses, and parts of the grid had to be completely rebuilt. Community Phone’s backup battery keeps your phone working for 26 hours without power.

About two million Florida households have no wired internet subscription at home,* and cell service gets spotty in rural areas. Community Phone’s industrial-grade antennas provide strong coverage with no internet, even where cell phones struggle to hold a signal.

Floridians over 60 reported more than $700 million in fraud losses in 2025.* On average, Community Phone blocks 18,000+ scam calls per month in Florida. For customers using the robocall filter, 56% of all incoming calls were caught as spam.

Florida dropped repair standards in 2011. In 2026, AT&T sought permission to stop repairing copper lines at 49 locations.* With Community Phone there’s no wire to repair or technician to wait for. If you need help, talk to a real person in under a minute. No robots.

Florida stopped overseeing basic home phone rates in 2011; no state regulator reviews what the big carriers charge.* There’s no cap on internet-based phone service either; rates jump when promos end. Community Phone has a Three-Year Price Lock, no contract or hidden fees.

Florida phone fact
In 1921, engineers laid the world’s first international undersea telephone cable from Key West to Havana, more than 100 miles beneath the Straits of Florida. Florida connected two countries before most American homes had a phone.
Floridians have never let distance prevent connection. Today, more than 1.5 million Florida homes still have a home phone.* You can keep yours.

AT&T has been retiring parts of its traditional landline network in Florida, one local area at a time. There is no single date when service will end statewide, so the timing depends on where you live. When a retirement would permanently end telephone service, AT&T must notify affected customers and obtain FCC authorization. Customers may be asked to switch to fiber, wireless, or another available phone service. Community Phone doesn’t use copper wire or internet, so none of this affects your service.

We have customers in 300+ Florida cities and towns, across all 23 of the state’s 23 area codes. Just enter your exact address and we’ll make sure there’s strong coverage where you live. The Phone Base uses industrial-grade antennas to pull in the strongest local tower, so calls stay clear even in rural areas where cell service is spotty. We confirm you have strong service before we ship anything. But if you still wind up feeling you’re not getting the coverage you expected, we’ll give you a full refund.
No, Community Phone is not a cell phone. It’s a home phone that sits on your table and plugs into a power outlet. Community Phone’s industrial-grade antennas pull in the strongest local tower, so calls stay clear where cell phones get spotty service.
Community Phone’s Home Plan starts at $45/mo, or $41.25/mo on the annual plan.
We also offer two other plans for your home:
Home Premium adds features such as call forwarding, number blocking and voicemail you can read as texts. It’s $59/mo, or $54.10/mo on the annual plan.
Loved Ones adds features such as voicemail transcriptions and managing an allowed list of trusted numbers. It’s $89/mo, or $81.60/mo on the annual plan.
The annual version of every plan includes one month free. Your rate is covered by our Three-Year Price Lock, and there’s no contract, so you can cancel anytime. Traditional providers lock you into long contracts and nickel-and-dime you with hidden fees. We don’t do either.
Before you pay a thing, we’ll confirm that you have strong coverage at your address. If you don’t, you get your money back.
Yes, you can keep your number and area code if you want to. We have customers across all 23 of Florida’s area codes. If you decide to keep your number, we’ll help you transfer it over. We’ll call your phone company for you if we can. If your carrier needs to get the transfer PIN directly from you, keep your last phone bill handy and we’ll walk you through the call.
Easier than you think. All you need is a power outlet and, if you’re keeping your number, a recent phone bill.
Whether you’re calling family from a farmhouse outside Ocala or checking in on your mom from a condo in Fort Lauderdale, you get the same dial tone. Confirm coverage at your address.
