Virginia’s landlines are being retired
There’s a simple way to keep your home phone
Verizon has been shutting down traditional phone lines across Virginia. As early as December 10, 2026, it plans to retire its remaining copper phone lines in more than 200 Virginia communities.* 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 Virginia
Virginia is unpredictable. Your phone shouldn’t be.
Storms cut off power without warning
Since 1980, Virginia has taken 116 separate billion-dollar weather disasters, including 23 hurricanes and 19 winter storms, and the pace has tripled since 2020.* Community Phone’s backup battery keeps your phone working for 26 hours without power.

Home internet isn’t a given
About 133,000 Virginia homes and businesses still can’t get high-speed internet, and the lines to reach them may not be finished until 2030.* Community Phone’s industrial-grade antennas provide strong coverage with no internet, even where cell phones struggle to hold a signal.

Virginia is a top target for senior fraud
Virginians over 60 reported more than $220 million in fraud losses in 2025.* On average, Community Phone blocks 11,000+ scam calls per month in Virginia. For customers using the robocall filter, 54% of all incoming calls were caught as spam.
*Source: FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, 2025 Annual Report.
Phone repairs take far too long
Virginia gives phone companies 48 hours to restore service, but only for 80% of outages. The rest can take four days.* 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.

Virginia’s phone rates keep going up
No state regulator has reviewed what Virginia phone companies charge for home phone service since 2011.* 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.

Virginia phone fact
In 1950, Gene Dickinson’s Spotsylvania farm was the first in Virginia connected under the federal rural telephone program. His first call came from President Truman, who told him hundreds of thousands of farms would follow. He was right.
Virginians have always expected their communities to stay within reach. Today, more than 840,000 Virginia homes still have a home phone.* You can keep yours.

Frequently asked questions about Community Phone in Virginia
Verizon has been retiring parts of its traditional landline network in Virginia, 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, Verizon 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+ Virginia cities and towns, across all 10 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 10 of Virginia’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 Virginia neighborhood.
Whether you’re calling family from a front porch in Rappahannock County or checking in on your mom from a Victorian in the Fan, you get the same dial tone. Confirm coverage at your address.
