Oregon’s landlines are being retired
There’s a simple way to keep your home phone
CenturyLink has been shutting down parts of its traditional landline network in Oregon, one area at a time. Since March 2025, companies like CenturyLink haven’t had to file advance notices with the FCC for these retirements.* 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 Oregon
Oregon is unpredictable. Your phone shouldn’t be.
Wildfires and intentional shutdowns cut off service
Since 1980, Oregon has faced 16 separate billion-dollar wildfires. Now utilities cut power on purpose when fire weather arrives, as they did for about 49,000 customers in 2022.* Community Phone’s backup battery keeps your phone working for 26 hours without power.

Rural Oregon has fewer options
More than 108,000 Oregon households have no internet subscription, and the state says trees and distance block the signal that rural Oregon depends on.* Community Phone’s industrial-grade antennas provide strong coverage with no internet, even where cell phones struggle to hold a signal.

Oregon is a target for senior fraud
Oregonians over 60 reported more than $77 million in fraud losses in 2025. On average, Community Phone blocks 3,000+ scam calls per month in Oregon. For customers using the robocall filter, 52% of all incoming calls were caught as spam.

Phone repairs take far too long
Oregon’s 48-hour repair target excludes fires and severe weather. Sunday outages may count as timely if fixed Tuesday.* 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.

Oregon’s phone rates keep going up
Oregon lets CenturyLink raise your rate every year. The better its repair record, the more it can charge you.* There’s no cap on internet-based phone service; rates jump when promos end. Community Phone has a Three-Year Price Lock, no contract or hidden fees.

Oregon phone fact
Portland’s Home Telephone Company set up a whole department just to answer miscellaneous questions. In 1912, one of its operators listed what people asked about, including baseball scores, what was playing at the local movie theater.
Oregonians have always known the value of having their community close at hand. Today, more than 350,000 Oregon homes still have a home phone.* You can keep yours.

Frequently asked questions about Community Phone in Oregon
CenturyLink has been retiring parts of its traditional landline network in Oregon, 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, CenturyLink 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.
*Sources: CenturyLink copper-retirement notice 834; 47 CFR §63.71.
We have customers in 100+ Oregon cities and towns, across all 4 of the state’s 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 4 of Oregon’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.
- 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 Oregon neighborhood.
Whether you’re calling family from a ranch outside Burns or checking in on your mom from a front porch in Portland, you get the same dial tone. Confirm coverage at your address.
