Pros from Real Users Pros It worked for local calls. It was east to sign up, and the website was okay. The hardware was good and was small. I notice that Community Phone service has many great reviews online, however, where I am concerned, the jury is still out. First of all, I ported my old phone number into the Community Phone service, however I have noticed that I still have two phone numbers, one is the temporary number initially assigned, while the second is my old ported number, which I really wanted. Now, the temporary phone number is still active, along with my ported number. During the day, I get many calls and when answered I get a dial tone and not a person on the other line! I am not sure they are calling the temporary number or if it is a spam call that Community is blocking! During a normal day, I may get five or six of these types of calls per day. Also, when I first signed up with Community, I set up voice mail with the temporary number. It appears that cannot be changed. I still have to go into voice mail using the temporary number, which discourages me from using voice mail. Sure, the price is a plus, but I am not sure the drawbacks are put out there for consideration. I did get Panasonic Phones and sometimes I wonder if their specific directions interfere with the Community directions? Excellent customer service with prompt delivery. It was a simple and efficient setup. I was able to start ringing family and friends right away. The whole process was super simple and the landline base was easy to install. When I needed help the customer service rep was awesome! Community Phone provides a very affordable, super easy to use, and all with minimal skill use landline service. Reliable, inexpensive, and great call quality. By far, the biggest positive with CP is customer service. If I attempt to contact CP with a problem, CP responds with a native speaker of English within 24 hours, generally far less. Since I needed just a landline it is exactly what I expected and the price was perfect. I got to keep my # of 35 years so very happy.
