Community Phone Land Line
Don Setliff, Fraziers Bottom, W.Va.: “My Community Phone landline phone base is a best buy. It works, plain and simple. It searches for and locks on the two strongest cellphone signals to stay connected when you make a call. The unit has external antennas like a Wi-Fi router.
    “I got to keep my old number, and I feel that the Community Phone is a better choice for rural areas with marginal cellphone signal strength. Local and long-distance calls and voicemail are included at about the same cost as on Verizon’s landline.
    “Verizon’s system was a worst buy. It promised to connect my existing landline phone to the Verizon 4G LTE network. I could never get it to work consistently. My first one wouldn’t connect, so it was replaced under warranty with another one that didn’t work either. When I picked up the receiver, all I ever got was a busy signal. Even the Verizon dealership couldn’t help; they told me there was nothing they could do as Verizon was building new towers.
    “Even worse, Verizon wouldn’t take the box back or refund my money. I had to pay the rest of the cost for the machine to get out of the contract. Now I own a Verizon machine that’s totally useless.”
