Remote First and Always
At Community Phone, we believe that everyone deserves access to reliable and affordable communication services. We're a mission-driven company, committed to providing exceptional landline service that keeps our customers connected to what matters most- starting with our seniors who deserve a landline service that doesn't just connect them, but protects them. We're also revolutionizing the business landscape by keeping them in constant contact with their customers. No more missed opportunities or frustrating interactions with automated systems. We're not just providing a service; we're fostering relationships.
Our innovative technology enables any traditional landline phone to connect over the cellular network through a SIM card inside of our landline base, ensuring uninterrupted service (with power back-up) without the need for Wi-Fi, while offering best in class software features like robust spam call blocking.
As a venture-backed, Y-Combinator graduate, we've evolved from a small team in 2018 to now ~70 fully remote team members spread across 15 countries and even more time zones. We proudly serve over 20,000 customers and clients, ranging from seniors to small businesses to franchises across the United States. As we continue to grow, we're looking for folks who share our passion for improving the lives of our customers through both technology and human connection.
