Overview

Plug the Community Phone Base into power and your existing corded or cordless phone to get a home or business line over the cellular network, with no internet, wiring or technician needed. Calls keep working for up to 26 hours on the built-in battery during a power outage, existing numbers are transferred for free, and spam calls are blocked automatically. Business plans add voicemail transcription, advanced call routing with rollover ring, a dial menu, live transfer and a dashboard and mobile app; service is available in all 50 US states subject to address coverage.
