A bit about Community Phone

There are over 100 million landline phone users in the US. Half of them are businesses. And almost all of them have had terrible experiences with their provider. FCC deregulation will accelerate the pace that traditional providers phase out landline service and force landline users to switch to internet-based digital phone service (VoIP).

For many consumers and businesses, VoIP is not a viable option. It requires reliable internet, it doesn’t work when the power goes out, and it’s infamous for spotty service, dropped calls, and poor customer support.

Community Phone provides landline service by connecting phones to local cell towers. The result is reliable service that works in power outages and improves as providers continue to invest in covering the country with high-quality service.
