Reliable home phone service in Carson City, NV that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Carson City, NV. 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 Carson City, NV 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 2,838 seniors in Carson City 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 Carson City residents to cell towers. And Carson City is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Carson City, covering 145 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Carson City to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Carson City, not just the most populated zip codes like 86406, 86404, 86403.
