Company details
Written by the company
At Community Phone, we offer simple, reliable phone service for homes and businesses. Our phone service does not require internet and works during power outages. It’s powered by our home phone base, a device that connects your home phone to cell towers in your area. Simply plug the device into an outlet, plug your phone into the base, and enjoy unlimited local and long-distance calls in the US. We also give you full control over how you use your phone. Transfer your home phone number onto a cell phone, or forward calls from a home phone and get rid of your existing service completely. Have calls ring on multiple phones at the same time, or route calls to different phones based on a custom dial menu. Send voicemail recordings to your inbox—all with helpful, accessible customer support.

How I use my phone
As I explained when I signed up for your service, I use this phone to call my mobile phone to find it. My wife passed away in November of 23, so I can no longer use her phone to find mine. The other reason I use ur phone is if I look up something like health care, or insurance, I put in this phone #, instead of my mobile # . That way my mobile phone doesn't ring all day long. No one has answered that phone in years.

The customer support people I dealt with were very helpful and understanding. Sometimes I had to be on hold for awhile before I could get connected to someone though. Overall, things went very well with the installment and how to use the community phone and handset.

Excellent Service
I thought I had already submitted a review, but will gladly send another because I want to make sure you know how pleased I was with the service though I was not able to keep the phone. After receiving the phone, I realized it was not the kind of help I wanted.
But each representative I spoke with, in making my initial decision to order, to my decision to cancel, could not have been more professional, informative, kind and patient. Thank you.

Community telephone might serve better
While the company maintains a high rating and strong reputation for service, I am writing to express a concern regarding the pricing structure.
I am particularly concerned about the impact on senior citizens who may not be tech-savvy or legally well-versed. Many of these customers continue to pay for the service out of necessity or nostalgia, sometimes at the expense of their basic daily needs. Almost all younger people use their mobiles for telephone calls.
To address this, I suggest considering a tiered service model:
1. Basic Service: A low-cost option with a limited number of local calls and no international calling.
2. Comprehensive Service: A premium option at a higher price point for those requiring more extensive features.
I believe these options would better accommodate the company diverse customer base while remaining socially sensitive.
