Reliable home phone service in Bridgeport, CT that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Bridgeport, CT. Community Phone allows you to keep your landline phone without internet or copper wire.
In fact, Community Phone is the only landline phone service in Bridgeport, CT that does not require internet. Other service providers such as Spectrum, AT&T, and Verizon require an internet connection or a bundle package with cable or internet.
According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 4,227 seniors in Bridgeport 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 Bridgeport residents to cell towers. And Bridgeport is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Bridgeport, covering 16 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Bridgeport to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Bridgeport, not just the most populated zip codes like 06606, 06604, 06605.
Landline phone service usage in Bridgeport is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 11.8% of Bridgeport's 143,280 people are over the age of 65, which means about 10,990 senior citizens in The Park City still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 3,381 Bridgeporters completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Bridgeporters. 18.5% of Bridgeport's 51,638 households do not have the internet at all, which means 9,553 households can't use internet-based landline service.
