Louisiana’s landlines are being retired
There’s a simple way to keep your home phone
AT&T is retiring parts of its landline network in at least 58 Louisiana 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 Louisiana
Louisiana is unpredictable. Your phone shouldn’t be.
Storms cut off power without warning
Since 1980, Louisiana has faced 106 separate billion-dollar weather disasters, including 27 tropical cyclones. Hurricane Francine cut power to over 300,000 customers in 2024.* Community Phone’s backup battery keeps your phone working for 26 hours without power.

Rural Louisiana has fewer options
More than 174,000 Louisiana households have no internet subscription, and lawmakers say rural service is still delayed or absent.* Community Phone’s industrial-grade antennas provide strong coverage with no internet, even where cell phones struggle to hold a signal.

Louisiana is a target for senior fraud
Louisianians over 60 reported more than $35 million in fraud losses in 2025.* On average, Community Phone blocks 4,000+ scam calls per month in Louisiana. For customers using the robocall filter, 42% of all incoming calls were caught as spam.

Phone repairs take far too long
Louisiana sets no deadline for fixing your line. Carriers just report complaint counts twice a year.* 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.

Louisiana’s phone rates keep going up
In 2014, Louisiana moved its last regulated home phone services into a category with no cap on rate increases.* 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.

Louisiana phone fact
In 1928, after the phone company said the route wasn’t worth the money, W. T. Henning ran a line from Sulphur down into the Cameron Parish marshes. The first stretches of service traveled along barbed wire strung between fence posts.
Louisianans have always found a way to close the distance between communities. Today, more than 265,000 Louisiana homes still have a home phone.* You can keep yours.

Frequently asked questions about Community Phone in Louisiana
AT&T has been retiring parts of its traditional landline network in Louisiana, 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 100+ Louisiana cities and towns, across 5 of the state’s 6 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 5 of Louisiana’s 6 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.
- We ship you the Phone Base. One dedicated representative handles your switch from start to finish.
- Plug it into a power outlet and wait for the dial tone. 30 seconds, no tools, no technician, no internet.
- Plug in the phone you already have. If you like your handset, keep it.
- Keep your number. We’ll transfer it for you. If your carrier needs a transfer PIN, we’ll walk you through that call.
Chances are, we’re already in your Louisiana neighborhood.
Whether you’re calling family from a camp on Bayou Lafourche in Thibodaux or checking in on your mom from a front porch in Monroe, you get the same dial tone. Confirm coverage at your address.
