AT&T coverage is going away, but your home phone doesn’t have to.
AT&T is shutting down copper phone lines across the country by 2029. Community Phone isn’t just a replacement — it’s an upgrade. We’re a reliable home phone service that’s here to stay, and we’ll support you better than AT&T ever did.
You’re not losing your home phone.
You’re losing AT&T.
The home phone still makes sense. Staying with a company that’s raising your rates and shutting down doesn’t.
AT&T officially announced it will retire copper landline service across nearly all U.S. states by the end of 2029. As of October 2025, AT&T no longer accepts new landline installations, moves, or changes in 20 states — and the shutdown is accelerating. Millions of customers are now looking for a reliable replacement.

Community Phone locks your price for 3 full years — $45/month, guaranteed. No rate hikes, no surprise fees.

Questions about switching from AT&T
Yes — and it’s free. We transfer your current number at no charge with zero downtime. You won’t miss a call during the switch. Just let us know you want to keep your number when you sign up.
Yes. Community Phone runs on the cellular network — the same one your cell phone uses. It doesn’t require internet, a router, or a cable box. Your home phone works whether your internet is on, off, or you don’t have it at all.
Your Community Phone base has a 26-hour battery backup built in. When the power goes out, your phone keeps working for over a full day. No separate battery purchase needed — it’s included with every unit.
No. Community Phone works with any standard corded or cordless handset you already own. You just plug your existing phone into the Community Phone base unit, and it works immediately.
AT&T’s replacement services (like AT&T Phone and AT&T Phone Advanced) require an active internet connection and AT&T internet service. If your internet goes down, your phone goes down too. Community Phone uses the cellular network — it’s completely independent from your internet. It also includes a 26-hour battery backup, which AT&T’s VoIP services don’t offer.
AT&T officially announced plans to retire copper landline service across nearly all U.S. states by the end of 2029. As of October 2025, they’ve already stopped accepting new copper line installations, moves, and changes in about 20 states. The shutdown is underway — it’s not a future possibility, it’s happening now.
No. Community Phone offers a 3-year price lock — your rate stays at $45/month for three full years, guaranteed. AT&T’s landline pricing has no such lock and has changed multiple times; ours doesn’t. After 3 years, you’ll be notified in advance of any change.
Try it for 30 days. If it doesn’t work exactly as promised — coverage, call quality, setup — we’ll give you a full refund. No questions asked. There’s no contract, so you can also cancel anytime after that.
Under 2 minutes. Plug the Community Phone base into a power outlet, connect your existing handset, and you’re done. No technician visit. No passwords. No app to install. If you run into anything, our U.S.-based support team picks up in under 2 minutes.
