Mississippi’s landlines are being retired
AT&T is retiring parts of its landline network in at least 35 Mississippi 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 Mississippi
Since 1980, Mississippi has faced 108 separate billion-dollar weather disasters, 50 severe storms and 22 hurricanes. One 2026 storm cut power to 180,000 customers statewide.* Community Phone’s backup battery keeps your phone working for 26 hours without power.

Mississippi phone fact
Vicksburg got its first telephone line in 1879, strung a few blocks between the businesses along the river. Two years later the Vicksburg Herald reported that people "now consider it quite a necessity."
Mississippians have always known that staying connected isn’t optional. Today, more than 135,000 Mississippi homes still have a home phone.* You can keep yours.

AT&T has been retiring parts of its traditional landline network in Mississippi, 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 160+ Mississippi cities and towns, across 4 of the state’s 5 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 4 of Mississippi’s 5 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 catfish farm outside Belzoni or checking in on your mom from a cottage in Meridian, you get the same dial tone. Confirm coverage at your address.
