According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 2,401 seniors in Bayonne don't want their primary phone service tied to their internet, even if they do have internet.
Community Phone works by connecting the landline phones of Bayonne residents to cell towers. And Bayonne is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Bayonne, covering 6 square miles.
