When our founder, James Graham, was searching for a telephone for his grandmother, he couldn’t find a phone company that valued its customers, was easy to use, and didn’t lock people into long contracts. Spending some time with her inspired him to create Community Phone! We treat customers differently - we don’t sell user data, leak numbers to spam bots, and we don’t nickel and dime with hidden fees and confusing contracts. In 2020, the onset of the pandemic brought a pivot to our company. Community Phone went straight to its customers. Their message was loud and clear: they needed a reliable, customer-friendly landline service. Something trustworthy and refreshingly simple. And that started our next chapter. We have grown to a 70+ person remote-first team and continue to expand. Join us in our mission to put the power of the phone back into the hands of the people!

Job description

☎ Community Phone

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. 

Join us in redefining the narrative, where communication is personal, secure, and built on trust. Let's connect the dots – one call at a time.
